Answer:
11.2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
by multiplying 16 by 0.965 (as it is a 4.5% decrease per year) and then multiplying the answer by 0.965 and so on until done a total of 10 times gets you the answer 11.2 gallons. there is a quicker way to do it but I cannot remember sorry
I will go about solving this using the elimination method.
First, convert the equations.
10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12
Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it! (In this case, y) We will subtract to get rid of y.
6x = -8
Third, you want to solve the equation.
6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x =

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.
10(

) + y = -20

+ y = -20 (subtract

)
y =

The solution for this system of equations is (

,

).
