We want to use the Substitution method to solve
7x - 2y = 1 (1)
x - 2y = 1 (2)
From equation (1), obtain
2y = 7x - 1 (3)
Substitute (3) into (2).
x - (7x - 1) = 1
-6x + 1 = 1
-6x = 0
x = 0
From (3), obtain
2y = 7*0 - 1 = -1
y = -1/2
Answer: (0, -1/2) or x=0, y= -1/2.
4 packages, because 24/12=2, 8/2=4 packages.
Answer:
35 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of water is 200 +60 = 260 gallons. The two tanks will have equal amounts when each has half that, or 130 gallons.
If the volume in tank 2 is increasing at 2 gallons per minute, it will increase by 70 gallons from 60 gallons to 130 gallons in 70/2 = 35 minutes.
