Answer:
666 2/3 gallons per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
1 valve: 40,000 wps
60 seconds in 1 minute,
40,000 / 60 = 666 2/3
it would be 48 because you would multiply 8 and 12 but then divide by 2
Since we can find a solution for this system of equations we can affirm this is an independent system with solution equal to (x,y) = (3,-1)
* If we graph a dependent system in the slope - intercept form, we can see that the graphs of each one are identical to each (beacuse we are representing the same line).
*An inconsistent system occurs when the equations have the same slope, but different values of intersection with the Y axis.
