Explanation:
a) How much-water will be in the water storage facility in 25 minutes?
Since the city water workers begin filling it at a rate of 500 gallons per minute, in 25 minutes they'll have filled:
= 500 × 25
= 12500 gallons
It immediately begins sending some of its water into the city's water pipes at a rate of 150 gallons per minutes. In 25 minutes, they'll have sent:
= 150 × 25
= 3750 gallons
Amount that'll be left in the tank will be:
= 12500 - 3750
= 8750 gallons
b. Write an equation to find the number of gallons,y,in the storage facility after x minutes. This will be:
y = (500 × x ) - (150 × x)
y = 500x - 150x
y = 350x
