PLS, HELP DO NOT TRIY THE FAKE I CANT UPLOAD STUFF I KNOW IS A VIREIS.

The height of the water in a tank decreases by 3.5 cm each day. When the tank is full, the water is 10 m deep. The water tank needs to be refilled when the water height drops below 4 m.



Write a question that could be answered by solving the equation 10−0.035d=4.

Answer:

After how many days will the tank need to be refilled?

Explanation:

To answer our question, we first need to figure out what d represents. d is multiplied by 0.035, which is how much the water level decreases daily. Since it decreases daily, the overall amount it decreases depends on how many days have passed. It is logical then to deduce that d represents days (also days starts with d, so we know we're on the right track haha).

The equation equals to 4, the water level at which the tank must be refilled, so we know we are looking for d when the tank must be refilled.
