Question

Cylindrical container has a height of 24 inches. Currently, the container is filled with water to a height of 18 inches. A leaky faucet drips into the container, causing the height of the water in the container to increase by 2 inches per hour. The equation below can be used to find t, the number of hours it would take to fill the container.

18 + ?t = 24

What number should be the coefficient of t?

Answer 1

6 would be the coefficient

Explanation:

So what we are trying to do is solve for t.

18 + t = 24

-18 -18

t = 6

It would take 6 hours to fill the container.

Hope that helps and have a great day!
