Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is 
9 is the common factor of 18 and 27
divide numerator and denominator by 9

hence
is proportion with 
Let x, represent the number of minutes and y represents the number of gallons of water in the tub, then the ordered pairs (2, 30) and (5, 12) satisfies the equation.
Therefore the equation is given by: (y - 30)/(x - 2) = (12 - 30)/(5 - 2)
(y - 30)/(x - 2) = -18/3 x = -6
y - 30 = -6(x - 2) = -6x + 12
y = -6x + 42
Required equation is y + 6x = 42.
Answee:
We have these two equations:
-2x +4y =-22
2x + 8y -26
We need to try to get the same number multiplying both x or y, I think we can make the 2 of the first equation negative, for that, we multiply all the equation by -1:
2x + 8y =-26 ---- -2x - 8y =26
Now we have this:
-2x +4y = -22
-2x -8y = 26
Now e substract both equations:
-2x - (-2x) +4y -(-8y) = -22-26
12y = -48
Y = -48/12 = -4
And we replace to get x
-2x + 4y = -22
-2x +4*(-4)=-22
-2x - 16 = -22
x= -6/-2 =3

-4 is the correct answer. -24= -4/6
