Answer: a 20% chance
Step-by-step explanation:
All you need to do is 2/10 = .2 = 20%
We do this because if 2 chose to read and there are 10 kids.
Let x be the capacity of the tank then
3x/4-x/8 =15,
then x=24, so so far it has 3/4 *24 =18 so you need 6 gallons to fill it up
Divide both sides by 2.
2/5
:)
X=5 y=15 (5,15).
This is how you do it:
-4(2x+3y=55): -8x-12y=-220
3(9x+4y=105):27x+12y=315
You add the two new equations together, canceling out the y values, and get the x value. Then, you go back and plug in the x value in the original equation to get the y value.
