Solution
For this case we can do the following:
11y - 3x = 18
16y -3x = 33
We can multiply the first equation by -1 and we got:
-11y +3x =-18
16y -3x = 33
_______________
16y -11y = 33-18
5y = 15
y= 15/5 = 3
And then solving for x we got
x = -(18 -11*3)/ 3= -15/3 = 5

Answer: you've gotten it answered? lmk if you haven't and you're waiting on one
Step-by-step explanation:
Sonia saves a lot of water. To figure this out, you plug the number 8 into the equation, replacing it with the variable x. y = 3(8). Therefore, y=24. To find out how much water she saves, you have to also figure out how much water she was using for 8 minutes with the other shower head, the one that wastes the water. Since it dispenses 12 gallons per minute, you multiply that by 8 minutes and get 96. Subtract 24 from 96 and get 72. Which I think is your answer. Then again, I'm in high school so I most likely am wrong.
Consecutive integers are like 1, 2, and 3. They are in a row. Think about plugging numbers in for x. 1 and 1+2 are not consecutive, so A is not the answer. B and C don't start with x, so they aren't the answer. That leaves D, because it starts with x, then goes to x+1, and then to x+2. These are consecutive, because if x was 1, it would be 1, 2, 3.
The answer is D.
I hope this helps :)
