Answer:

Capacity of old tank =  1650 barrels.    

Capacity of new tank =  2000 barrels.  

Explanation:

  Let a be the capacity of old tank and b be the capacity of new tank.

 A company added a new oil tank that holds 350 barrels of oil more than its old oil tank.

So we have    b - a  = 350 ----------------------equation 1

Together they hold 3650 barrels of oil

                        a + b = 3650 ----------------------equation 2

equation 1 + equation 2

                       2b = 3650 + 350 = 4000

                          b = 2000 barrels.

Substituting in equation 1

                  2000 - a = 350

                            a = 1650 barrels.

Capacity of old tank =  1650 barrels.    

Capacity of new tank =  2000 barrels.

A system of equations is graphed on a coordinate plane.

The solution can be found where two lines intersect. The lines in the image do not intersect at an exact point, so we will need to estimate.
The x value is either 1 or -1 from your choices. You can see it is closer to -1 on the horizontal (x axis).
The y value is either 0 or -1 from your choices. You can see it is closer to 0 on the vertical (y axis).
The answer to your set of lines is approximately (-1,0).
