8x+3y=9
-8x. -8x
3y = -8x+9
3y/3 = (-8x+9)/3
y = -8/3x +3
so, slope is -8/3
First we have to find how much water leaked
5galllons-3 gallons=2 galllos of water leaked
Now we know

Finally we can simplify it

- its the answer
The variable a cannot be zero because that would make -9a = zero and 8 divided by zero is indeterminate.
