Let the Quantity of water for tank X be Qx and Quantity of water for tank Y be Qy. From the question we know: Qx=Qy+30 We need to find the time T. Statement 1: Rx=2Ry (rate of water drainage)since we need to know rate of at least one its insufficient. Statement 2: Ry=20 gallons/hour. Since we dont k...
