Answer:
[2,6]
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+5y=36
5x-4=y
3x+5(5x-4)=36
3x+25x-20=36
28x-20=36
28x=56
x=2
5x-4=y
5*2-4=y
10-4=y
6=y
-3 x -26 = 78
meaning the answer is D.
The reason the answer is D, is because two negatives when multiplied or divided become positive. Only when multiplied or divided does this occur.
To find how much each person will get, you have to divide the amount available by the people. There are 2 ways I believe we can do this.
First way
Let's divide.
2÷9= 2/9
Each person would get 2/9 of a gallon if they shared it.

Second way
I believe it would be easier to convert this into cups. There are 16 cups per gallon.
16×2= 32
Let's divide that by 9.
32÷9= 3 5/9 cups per person.
