(23+15x) when you add this you will have your answer
Answer:
The rate is 0.9 gallon per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we have 4.5 gallons drained in 5 minutes but we are interested in calculating the rate per minute
Let the amount drained per minute be x
4.5 gallons = 5 minutes
x gallon = 1 minute
Let’s cross multiply;
x * 5 = 4.5 * 1
5x = 4.5
x = 4.5/5
x = 0.9 gallons
Answer:
smaller number - 7
greater number - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
let a = smaller number
a + 1 = greater number
the following equation can be derived from the question
(5 x a) = 3 + 4(a + 1)
5a = 3 + 4a + 4
5a = 7 + 4a
5a - 4a = 7
a = 7 = smaller number
a + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8 = greater number
Eliinate y's
multiply top eqatyion by -1 and add to 2nd
9x-2y=24
<u>-x+2y=8 +</u>
8x+0y=32
8x=32
divid both sides b y8
x=4
sub back
-x+2y=8
-4+2y=8
add 4 to both sides
2y=12
divide both sides by 2
y=6
(x,y)
(4,6)
