10 quarts is greater if that is what you were asking for.
3/4 is the slope and it represents the distance over the time, or the miles per minute.
24x-45y=34x
To solve for y, subtract 24x:
-45y=10x
Divide by -45:
y=-10/45x
Reduce:
y=-2/9x
To solve for x, subtract 24x:
-45y=10x
Divide by 10:
-45/10y=x
Reduce:
-9/2y=x
So you have
25x+10y=24
and
x+y=20
you can eith er subsitue or add
let's add
mutliply x+y=10 by -10
-10x-10y=-200
add to first equation
25x+10y=24
<u>-10x-10y=-200 +
</u>15x+0y=-176
15x=-176
divide both sides by 15
x=-176/15
subsitue
x+y=20
-176/15+y=20
add -176/15 to both sides
y=476/15
solution
(x,y)
