The container that holds the water for the football team is 1/3 full. After pouring in 12 gallons of water, it is 7/9 full. How many gallons can the container hold?

Step-by-step explanation:

The container that holds the water for the football team is 1/3 full.

After pouring in 12 gallons of water, it is 7/9 full.

Hence, the fraction of the water poured is

1/3 - 7/9

Lowest common denominator

= 9

3× 3 - 7 × 1/9

= 9 - 7/9

= 2/9

Hence, 2/9 = 12 gallons

How many gallons can the container hold?

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.

answer: y = 3/2 x - 3

y = 1/8 x - 3/4 that would be your correct option
