Answer:
number of hours Alexander family ‘s sprinkler work = 20
number of hours Morgan family ‘s sprinkler work = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question,
water output rate for the Alexander family ‘s sprinkler = 40 L
water output rate for the Morgan family ‘s sprinkler = 20 L
Suppose, number of hours Alexander family ‘s sprinkler work = x
Suppose, number of hours Morgan family ‘s sprinkler work = y
Equation1
x + y = 50
Equation 2
40x + 20y = 1400
x = 50 - y
Put this value of x in equation 2
40(50-y) + 20y = 1400
2000 - 40y + 20y = 1400
-20y = 1400 - 2000
-20y = -600
y = 30
Put this value of y in equation 1 to get the value of x
x + 30 = 50
x = 50 - 30
x = 20
Answer:
(-1, 4)
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
<u>Algebra I</u>
- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>
10x + 6y = 14
-x - 6y = -23
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Add 2 equations together: 9x = -9
- Divide 9 on both sides: x = -1
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define original equation: -x - 6y = -23
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: -(-1) - 6y = -23
- Multiply: 1 - 6y = -23
- Subtract 1 on both sides: -6y = -24
- Divide -6 on both sides: y = 4
