Answer:

25 minutes 42 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The tub will fill at the rate of ...

2.25 gal/min - 0.50 gal/min = 1.75 gal/min

It will take ...

45 gal/(1.75 gal/min) ≈ 25.714 min

for the tub to fill.

You can shower for about 25 minutes 42 seconds.

What is the value of y in this system of equations: 3x + y = 9 y = –4x + 10 ?

Ahat [919]

<span>3x + y = 9 (I)
</span><span>y = –4x + 10 (II)
------------------------
</span> $\left \{ {{3x + y = 9 } \atop {y = -4x + 10 }} \right.$

Pass the incognito "4x" to the first term, changing the signal when changing sides.
<span>-------------------------
simplify by (-1)
</span> $\left \{ {{3x + y = 9.(-1)} \atop {4x + y = 10 }} \right.$ <span>

-------------------------
</span> $\left \{ {{- 3x - \diagup\!\!\!\!y =-9} \atop {4x + \diagup\!\!\!\!y = 10}} \right. 
$
<span>
-------------------------
</span> $\left \{ {{- 3x = - 9} \atop {4x = 10}} \right.$ <span>

-----------
</span> $\boxed{x = 1}$ <span><span>

</span></span><span>Substitute in equation (I) to find the value of "Y".

</span>3x + y = 9 (I)
3*(1) + y = 9
3 + y = 9
y = 9 - 3
$\boxed{y = 6}$

Answer:
$\boxed{\boxed{ \left \ {{x=1} \atop {y=6}} \right. }}$
