Answer:
A tub filled with 50 quarts of water empties at a rate of 2.5 quarts per minute.
Let w be the quarts of water left in the tub.
Let t be the time in minutes.
So, the equation to model this situation is :
Modelling equation:

This equation is viable only up to when t is 20 minutes. That will give w = 0. More than 20 minutes is not possible.
