Let x = the number of hours the tanks are filling and let y = the number of gallons in the tank. A. They will never have the same amount of water because the solution to the system is (-2,18). It is not possible to have - 2 gallons in the tanks. B. They will never have the same amount of water because the solution to the system is (-2,18). It is not possible to have time be - 2 hours. C.
