Answer:
Russell family's sprinkler: 40 hours
Gonzales family's sprinkler: 20 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the amount of time the Russell family's sprinkler was on by X, and the Gonzales family's sprinkler by Y.
We can then formulate the equations:
X + Y = 60
X*35 + Y*40 = 2200
We can solve this system multiplying the first equation by 35, and then subtracting the result from the second equation:
35*X + 35*Y = 2100
5*Y = 100
Y = 20
from the first equation:
X + 20 = 60
X = 40
Russell family's sprinkler: 40 hours
Gonzales family's sprinkler: 20 hours
Answer:
(1,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
x+4y = 9
2x -4y= -6
Add the equations together
x+4y = 9
2x -4y= -6
-------------------
3x +0y = 3
3x=3
Divide by 3
3x/3 = 3/3
x=1
Now find y
x+4y = 9
1 +4y =9
Subtract 1 from each side
4y = 8
Divide by 4
4y/4 = 8/4
y =2
