Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Only one because there is one variable and the combined coefficients of x are non-zero.
(0.75(x+40)=0.70(x+20), 0.05x=14-30=-16, x=-320)
3/4 times 3/2 (reciprocal of the second fraction) is 9/8 gallons per minute.
5/8 times 2/1 (reciprocal of the second fraction) is 10/8 gallons per minute
The second tank is filling faster.
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2x-2y=-6
3x+4y=8
multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2
- 6x-6y=18
6x+8y=16
Add
2y=34
y= 34÷2
y=17
substitute 17 for y in equation (2)
3x+4y=8
3x+4(17)=8
3x+68=8
3x=8-68
3x=-60
x=-60÷3
x=-20
x=-20,y=17
