A water tank holds 18,000 gallons. How long will it take for the water level to reach 6,000 gallons if the water is used at an average rate of 450 gallons per day?

It would take about 26.7 days for the water level to reach 6,000 gallons.

18000 - 450d = 6000

18000 - 6000 = 12000

12000 / 450 ≈ 26.7

450 = 26.7 ≈ 12000

Good luck!
