Answer:
you can name it a or b like any letters
Hi there!
x - 3y = 9
x = 9 + 3y
-4x + y = 8
-4(9+3y) + y = 8
-36 - 12y + y = 8
-36 - 11y = 8
-11y = 44
-y = 4
y = -4
x - 3y = 9
x - 3(-4) = 9
x + 12 = 9
x = 21
So, your answers are y = -4 and x = 21.
Hope this helps!
4 inches of rain would fall in 6 hours
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that, A rain storm came through Clifton park
And it was accumulating
inches of rain/hour
So amount of rain accumulated in 1 hour = 
Thus amount of rain accumulated in six hours is calculated by multiplying the amount of water accumulating per hour and 6
Amount of water accumulated in 6 hours = Amount of water accumulated in 1 hour
6

<em><u>Another way:</u></em>
Let "n" be the amount of rain accumulated in 6 hours
1 hour ⇒
rain accumulated
6 hours ⇒ "n"
By cross multiplication, we get

Hence, 4 inches of rain would fall in 6 hours.
