Answer: 1. x=2
2. x=5
3.x=-3
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

the answer is 95.
Step-by-step explanation:
180-85=95
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the volume of the first tank, and y is the volume of the second tank, then:
x + y = 55
x = 2y + 4
Solve the system of equations using either substitution or elimination. Using substitution:
2y + 4 + y = 55
3y + 4 = 55
3y = 51
y = 17
Solve for x using either equation.
x + 17 = 55
x = 38
The first tank holds 38 gallons, and the second tank holds 17 gallons.
