Standard Form is ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are not fractions and a is not negative.
So, you can go through each of your options to see which ones work with those rules.
A. 2.5x + 3y = 12 No, this is not in Standard Form. 2.5 can be rewritten as 2<span>
, menaing A is a fraction, which you can't have.
B. -10x - 3y = 1 No, this is not in Standard Form. A is -10, but A can't be negative.
C. 2x + 3y = 12 Yes, this is in Standard Form. It follows all of the rules.
D. 5x + 5y = 10 Yes, this is in Standard Form. It follows all of the rules.
So, C and D are both written in Standard Form.

Answer:
Pool A.
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved through ratios. You would write it as So,
for the first one, and
for the second. You might want to use a calculator for that part, but you could also change the gallons to cups, which gives you a much better number of 10.515. So,
, and
So, pool A is at a faster rate. If you want it in gallons per minute, it's by 0.01 (with the 1 repeating) gallons per minute. By cups, it's 0.17525 cups per minute.
(The reason I did not do this by cross multiplying and dividing ratios is because it gives you the exact same answer if you are finding it per one, as I am here with per one minute. You can do it this way, it just wastes a bit of time.)
