Answer:

x = 1 y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 7

- Subtract x from both sides.

3y = -x + 7

- Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.

y = -1/3x + 7/3

- Plug the value of y into the other equation.

3x + 4(-1/3x + 7/3) = 11

3x - 4/3x + 28/3 = 11

- Add like terms.

5/3x + 28/3 = 11

5/3x = 5/3

x = 1

- Plug the value of x into the equation.

x + 3y = 7

(1) + 3y = 7

3y = 6

y = 2

Pipe A can fill 3 tanks in 8 minutes. Pipe B can fill 5 tanks in 10 minutes. How long will it take for them to fill a single tan

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

8/7 min = $1 \frac{1}{7} minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

A rate 2 2/3 = 8/3 min per tank

B rate 2 min per tank

thus:

A rate = 3/8 tank per min

B rate = 1/2 tank per min

A+ B = 3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8 tank per min

7/8 x = 1

x = 8/7 min
