Two containers are leaking water at different rates. One container has 100 gallons in it and is leaking out 3 gallons per minute. The other container has 150 gallons and is leaking out 5 gallons per minute. How many minutes will pass before they have the
same amount of fluid? How much fluid will be in each tank?

both equations and proportions are better.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571

step-by-step explanation:

x= cost per bracelet

number of bracelets * x + shipping charge = total cost

so

9x+9=72

okay..i will pick 8!
