Question

A local pool is drained yearly when students go back in the fall. If the pool contains 6000 gallons total and drains at a rate of 250 gallons per hour, what equation represents the linear relationship between the amount of water in the pool (A) and number of hours since the draining started (h)?

A) A = 6000 + 250h
B) A = -250h
C) A = 6000 - 250h
D) A = 6000 - 25h​

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The answer is C.

The reason for this is:

Given:

Pool has 6000 gallons already

Drains 250 gallons an hour

Draining=subtraction!!!

So, to format this equation properly,

A=Constant-variable

So, A=6000-250h
