From inspecting the graph, you can identify the y-intercept and the slope of the line shown.
The y-intercept is 200 gallons.
The slope is
75-200
m = ------------- = -12.5 gallons/minute
10 - 0
Thus, y = 200 gallons - [12.5 gallons/minute ]t
To answer the 2nd question, let t = 12 minutes and calculate y(12).
To determine how long it wld take to empty the tank, set the above formula equal to zero and solve the resulting equation for t.
Answer:
x = 4, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by multiplying the first equation by 2:
2x + 2y = 12 --> 4x + 4y = 24
Subtract the second from the first:
4x + 4y = 24
- 5x + 4y = 28
4x - 5x = -x
4y = 4y = 0
24 - 28 = -4
so you end with -x + 0 = -4
Solve for x to get x = 4
Plug x = 4 back into 2x + 2y = 12 to find y.
2(4) + 2y = 12
8 + 2y = 12
2y = 4
y = 2
I don't understand what you are trying to ask if you post this in question form or add a question I can probably help you other than that I don't think anyone knows what you need help with, I'm sorry sweety
I see you do K12 huh? XD Okay so, the answer should be below or above or something. lol Hope this helped!
