Answer:
Slope is -3
y-intercept is -3 and equation is y=-3x-3
It goes on forever basically, as it can't be expressed as a fraction.
3x + y = -3
-2x + y = 7
Use elimination method
Subtract both equations
5x = -10, x = -2
Plug in -2 for x (any equation)
3(-2) + y = -3
-6 + y = -3
y = 3
Solution: x = -2, y = 3
Or as a coordinate: (-2, 3)
15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
