Question

Plz tell me if i am correct

A 20,000 gallon swimming pool contains 5000 gallons of water when a hose is placed in the pool and begins adding water at a rate of 1250 gallons per hour.



Use the Segment tool to plot a graph representing the volume of water in the pool over time from when the hose is placed in the pool until the pool is full.

Answer 1

The points are (5000, 0) and (20000, 12) I took the test

Answer 2

1250x + 5000 = 20000
1250x + 5000 (-5000) = 20000 (-5000)
1250x = 15000
1250x/1250 = 15000/1250
x = 12
12 hours


hope this helps

so plug in x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, 11, & 12 inside to find the rest of the amounts the pool has been filled with
