“Trish has a jug of contaminated water that she knows is only 75% clean. She also knows that the water will be safe to drink if she can mix it with 100% clean water so that it is 97% clean. How much
clean water (100% clean) would Trish need to mix with the contaminated water in order to get 1 gallon
of drinkable water?"
A student used the following system of equations to model the situation given above. Which of the
statements is true about the system of equations the student used?
75x + 100y = 97(1)
Lx-y=1
A. The system of equations the student used is correct.
B. The top equation in the system is incorrect.
C. The bottom equation in the system is incorrect.
D. Both equations in the system are incorrect.

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3

-6 is the correct option from the above given options
