It is no answer, because when you get 12x + 48 = 48 + 12x, they cancel each other out.
Answer:
W = (1/7) t
Step-by-step explanation:
At t = 0, W = 0
At t = 56 minutes , W = 8 inches
W = k*t The y intercept = 0 because t = 0 W = 0
8 inches = k * 56 minutes
k = 8 / 56
k = 1/7 inches / minute
W = (1/7) t
It is 8.5, how you get it is simple. (Divide 102 by 24, then add 4.25 to that answer)
