3x4=12 gallons. 3x1/9= 3/10 of a gallon. 12+3/10= 12 3/10 gallons

Each load will take 3 gallons. Therefore, we can express the amount of water that will be used for x loads using the equation w=3x, where w is how much water you use and x is equal to how many loads there are. We can set up the equation:
w=(3*4)+(3*
(1)/(9))
From there, we can solve
w=12+(3*
(1)/(9))
simplifies to
w=12+
(1)/(3)
w= 12
(1)/(3)
