First recognize that the unit rate we're finding is gallons per hour, or

.
rate for Tank 1 = x gallons per hour = <em>a</em> gallons / <em>b</em> hours

rate for Tank 2 = y gallons per hour = <em>c</em> gallons / <em>d</em> hours
{ 3-y=2x
{ x+1/2y=3/2
{ -y=2x-3
{ 1/2y=3/2-x
{ y=-2x+3
{ y=3-2x
-2x+3=3-2x
(x,y) = (x,-2x+3)
