You first have to set up the two equations. Y is equal to the total number of gallons in a tank and x is equal to the number of hours the tanks are filling.
Since the two equations both equal y I can make them equal each other. I then solved for x as you see and got -4.
Once I found my x value I now needed to find my y. You only needed to chose one equation to solve for y, so I decided to do the first one. I plugged in -4 where my x value currently was and solved for y. I got 2.
If you have any questions please comment!! Hope this helps!!
Y intersect is the answer
Whenever we need to prove something, our first step is to write the given statements and then the second step is to write what we have to prove.
So out of the given two options, the correct option is the first option, that is , given .
Find the difference vertically( North and South) and the difference horizontally ( East and West)
Then use the Pythagorean Theorem.
600 North - 200 South = 400 m
400 West - 100 East = 300 m
Now using the Pythagorean Theorem;
400^2 + 300^2 = total displacement^2
Total displacement^2 = 160,000 + 90,000
Total displacement^2 = 250,000
Total displacement = √250,000
Total displacement = 500 m
