3 minutes - 2 minutes = 1 minute

30 gallons - 12 gallons = 18 gallons

 it is draining at 18 gallons per minute

equation would be: y = -18x

Answer:

(0, 4 ) and (2, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

(2)

3x + 4y = 16 → (1)

- 3x + 2y = 8 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) term by term will eliminate the x- term

0 + 6y = 24

6y = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

3x + 4(4) = 16

3x + 16 = 16 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

3x = 0 , then

x = 0

solution is (0, 4 )

(3)

2x - 4y = 20 → (1)

5x + 4y = - 6 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) term by term will eliminate the y- term

7x + 0 = 14

7x = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

5(2) + 4y = - 6

10 + 4y = - 6 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4y = - 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = - 4

solution is (2, - 4 )
