2a+3b  = -1      | *3
3a +5b = -2       |* -2

6a+ 9b = -3
-6a -10b = 4
------------------
/      -b =1
         b= -1

2a + 3b= -1
2a + 3* -1 = -1
2a -3= -1
2a = 3-1
2a=2
a=2:2
a=1

Two pipes running together can fill a tank in 20 minutes.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

45, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

let x y minutes be the time for pipes to fill the tank, let n be the water needed to fill the tank.

x-y=9

(n/x)*20+(n/y)*20=n

n is removed by dividing the 2nd equation by n

here u get:

(1/x+1/y)*20=1

you sub x=9+y into the above equation

1/y+1/(9+y)=1/20

((9+y)+(y))*20=(9+y)(y)

180+40y=9y+y2

y2-31y-180=0

then use the quadratic formula and u will find y=36 or -5

-5 is rejected because it is negative

x=36+9=45

therefore it is 36 mins and 45 mins
