Simple, use the process of elimination to figure this out:
4x-y=2
2x+9y=-12
Convert these, to be able to find either x or y.
2(4x-y=2) 8x-2y=4 multiply by 2.
then
4(2x+9y=-12) 8x+36y=-48
Which makes them
8x-2y=4
-
8x+36y=-48
-38y=52
This simplified makes it y= -26/19.
Then plug y back into the original equation
4x-y=2
4x-(-26/19)=2
Making it x= 3/19.
Thus your Point of Intersection is at (3/19, -26/19)
Answer:
Y=1/5x since 0.20 in fraction form is 20/100 or 1/5.
You can either scale down so you can get to 48 hours or just multiply from 20 to 48 and I'll explain both ways.
Scaling down:
You can find how many hours it takes to get to 1 gallon in the bucket by dividing
20÷5=4; It takes 4 hours to fill it up to one gallon.
You can now divide 48 by 4 to see how many gallons it'll take up to 48 hours.
48÷4=12
Quicker:
Divide 48 by 20;
48÷20=2.4
Now multiply since it filled it up to 5 gallons.
2.4×5=12
It'll fill 12 gallons in 48 hours.
