Sonia saves a lot of water. To figure this out, you plug the number 8 into the equation, replacing it with the variable x. y = 3(8). Therefore, y=24. To find out how much water she saves, you have to also figure out how much water she was using for 8 minutes with the other shower head, the one that wastes the water. Since it dispenses 12 gallons per minute, you multiply that by 8 minutes and get 96. Subtract 24 from 96 and get 72. Which I think is your answer. Then again, I'm in high school so I most likely am wrong.
<span>There are 4 long rows and 5 short rows in the theater. x represents the number of chairs in each long row and y represents the number of chairs in each short row.
So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows= 4x
Total number of chairs in 5 short rows = 5y
Total number of chairs in the theater on a normal day = 4x + 5y
When 2 chairs are added to each long row, the number of chairs will change to (x+2).
So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows will be = 4(x+2)
When 3 chairs are added to each short row, the number of chairs will change to (y+3)
So, total number of chairs in 5 short rows will be = 5(y+3)
Thus, total number of chairs in the theater in rush day = 4(x+2) + 5(y+3)
= 4x + 8 + 5y + 15
= 4x + 5y + 23
Thus we can say the number of chairs increase by 23 as compared to a normal day.

A) to find the difference you have to subtract one from the other (53-(-41)=91)
b) 15
you would divide both sides by 6 to get your answer. i hope this helps :)
