The total number of liters of syrup and water he mixed was 7 liters. Which graph best shows the number of liters of fruit syrup and water that Rex added to make the fruit punch? (5 points)
graph of lines 3 y equals 2x plus 11 and y equals minus x plus 7. Lines intersect at ordered pair 2, 5

graph of lines 3 y equals 2 x minus 4 and y equals minus x plus 7. Lines intersect at ordered pair 5, 2

graph of lines 3 y equals 2 x plus 6 and y equals minus x plus 7. Lines intersect at ordered pair 3, 4

graph of lines 3y equals 2x plus 1 and y equals minus x plus 7. Lines intersect at ordered pair 4, 3

Answer 1

3y = 2x + 6
x + y = 7

y = 7 - x
3(7 - x) = 2x + 6
21 - 3x = 2x + 6
21 - 6 = 2x + 3x
15 = 5x
15/5 = x
3 = x

x + y = 7
3 + y = 7
y = 7 - 3
y = 4

Solution is (3,4)

Answer 2

The answer is graph D
