A water tank holds 24,000 gallons. How many ours will it take for 2/3 of water to be used if the water if the water is used at an average rate of 650 gallons per day

ryan had a head start of 10 meters.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

i think the length is 12 and the width is 17
