A set of two or more equations with the same variables is called a system of equations. When you set the two expressions that are equal to the same variable equal to each other,
like
you did in the previous lesson, you are using the Equal Values Method of solving a
system of equations. Use the Equal Values Method to solve the following problem.
It is time to cool off on a hot summer day! Team Sunshine is filling an inflatable kiddie
pool from a garden hose. The pool has [Math Processing Error] gallons in it and Team
Sunshine is adding [Math Processing Error] gallons per minute with a garden hose.
Next door, Team Breeze's pool is already filled with [Math Processing Error] gallons of
water. They are emptying the pool at [Math Processing Error] gallons per minute with
buckets,
