The answer to your question is the square root 2 over 2
X+y = 4, therefore y = 4-x when you rearrange the equation.
You can subsitute this in: x-(4-x) = 6
-4+x = 6-x
x=10-x
2x = 10
x = 5
Substitute x into the previous equation:
5+y = 4
y = 4-5
y = -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Start: 10 gallons
Loss: 1.75 per hour --> -1.75 gallons
After two hours 10+2(-1.75)=10-3.5=6.5 gallons left
After t hours 10+t(-1.75)=10-1.75t gallons left
