Answer:-5x-8y=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
add right sides of equation and even them with result of adding right sides of equation
4x-4y-9x-4y=-2-3
-5x-8y=-5
I believe the answer is 17.
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
Your answer is $30,000.
The way I have answered this is quite strange, but I'll do my best to explain it. So because we know that $30,900 is 3% than last year, we can call it 103%. This allows us to form a ratio and therefore find 100%.
30,900 : 103
÷ 103
300 : 1
× 100
30,000 : 100
Which means $30,000 is 100%, or 3% less than $30,900. I hope this helps! Let me know if it was confusing or anything :)
