Question

A fish tank holds 175 gallons of water. Tom is emptying the tank and

removes 25 gallons per hour. Write an equation to model the situation,
where x represents time in hours and y represents the number of gallons
of water in the fish tank.

Answer 1

Y= -25x+ 175 or y= 175 -25x I because 175 is the initial amount of water and since you are REMOVING 25 PER hour it would be -25x
