Well the LCM (lowest common multiples) for 8 and 32 would be 4. So plug 4 into "b" -8×4-32. -8×4=32. -32-32. Since you can't subtract 32 and 32 you add! Which gives you -64.
Hope this helps (:
You first have to set up the two equations. Y is equal to the total number of gallons in a tank and x is equal to the number of hours the tanks are filling.
Since the two equations both equal y I can make them equal each other. I then solved for x as you see and got -4.
Once I found my x value I now needed to find my y. You only needed to chose one equation to solve for y, so I decided to do the first one. I plugged in -4 where my x value currently was and solved for y. I got 2.
If you have any questions please comment!! Hope this helps!!
1.Choice 4: 10
2. Choice 1: Add 5.2 to both sides if the equation.
