There are 12 months in a year, so you need to divide 3600 by 12. 3600 / 12 = 300. The faucet wastes 300 gallons of water per month.
Answer:
x = 17/2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3 x+8
------ = ------------
2 6
Using cross products
(x-3) *6 = 2 (x+8)
Distribute
6x - 18 = 2x+16
Subtract 2x from each side
6x-2x-18 = 2x-2x+16
4x-18 = 16
Add 18 to each side
4x-18+18 = 16+18
4x = 34
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = 34/4
x = 17/2
(-6/5, -8/5), you substitute 3x+2 for the y in the first equation. So the first equation will read 2x+3x+2, then you solve and get x= -6/5. Then you have to solve for y, so you put your x value (-6/5) in the second equation for x. it should read y= 3(-6/5)+2, the answer to that is y= -8/5. After that you just put them in order (x,y) and there's your answer.
It's (1 ; -3). If the symmetry is on the y-axis, change the coordinate on the x-axis. You can draw it to verify.
