Question

The Cooper family and the Nelson family each used their sprinklers last summer. The Cooper family's sprinkler was used for 35 hours. The Nelson family's sprinkler was used for 40 hours. There was a combined total output of 1325L of water. What was the water output rate for each sprinkler if the sum of the two rates was
35L per hour?

Answer 1

x+y=35
35x+40y=1325
Know how to solve this system of equation?

Answer 2

No I don't

Answer 3

Solve for y by canceling x
You do this by multiplying x+y=35 by (-35)

Answer 4

Huh???

Answer 5

I'm a little confused sorry...

Answer 6

Know what to do next?
You should have known how to solve this equation.
Did you do your other assignment involving this?
This requires two steps to solve so it is harder than just the second ste?

Answer 7

We don't have lessons ...
were in a class on a website but it's through another program you just complete the work it gives you like three to four questions but if you get one wrong it sends you back to the start...

Answer 8

I just need help on this .

Answer 9

You should have a done a problem similar to this equation.

Answer 10

Nope

Answer 11

his is the first question ....

Answer 12

This

Answer 13

The x and y on both equation are the same.
x is Cooper water output rate
y is Nelson water output rate.

Answer 14

Now see if you can solve it

Answer 15

Yes but how do you solve it....

Answer 16

Your basically not telling me how to solve it like I don't know how to set it up or anything like that..

Answer 17

Read what I wrote above. You solve for x and y.
Got to reread the whole thing over...

Answer 18

Read the question again too, so you can better understand it and what I am saying with it.
