2X=6X-220
2X-6X=220
-4X=220
X=220/-4
X=-55 ANSWER.
PROOF
2*-55=6*-55+220
-110=-330+220
-110=-110
-------------------------------------------
C=2L+46
C=443+L NOW SUBSTITUTE (443+L) FOR C IN THE FIRST EQUATION & SOLVE FOR L
443+L=2L+46
L-2L=46-443
-L=-397
L=397 ANSWER FOR THE LOUISIANA COASTLINE.
C=2*397+46
C=794+46
C=840 ANSWER FOR THE CALIFORNIA COASTLINE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
4*6/(4+6)
24/10=2.4 MINUTES TO FILL THE BUCKET USING BOTH FAUCETS.
