This is a linear relationship. The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is:

Where,
- m is the rate of change (positive if increasing rate and negative if decreasing rate)
- c is the y intercept, or the initial value
<u><em>Rate of change is 2.5 quarts per minute (it is decreasing so m is -2.5)</em></u>
<u><em>Initial value is 50 quarts, so c is 50.</em></u>
Plugging in the values we get
.
Changing variables to w instead of y and t instead of x, gives us,
. Where w is warts of water left in the tub and t is the time in minutes.
There is no viable solution when t=30 because at t=20, w=0 (
). It means after 20 minutes, there is no water left. So t=30 minutes doesn't make sense.
ANSWER:
Modelling equation: 
When
, there is no VIABLE solution
There is a decrease in power. It can be concluded that there has also been a change in:
A) current or voltage.
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -10; x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
|2x + 3| - 6 =11
Add 6 to each side.
|2x + 3| = 17
Apply the absolute rule: If |x| = a, then x = a or x = -a.
(1) 2x + 3 = 17 (2) 2x + 3 = -17
Subtract 3 from each side
2x = 14 2x = -20
Divide each side by 2
x = 7 x = -10
<em>Check:
</em>
(1) |2(7) + 3| - 6 = 11 (2) |2(-10) + 3| - 6 = 11
|14 + 3| - 6 = 11 |-20 + 3| - 6 = 11
|17| - 6 = 11 |-17| - 6 = 1
1
17 - 6 = 11 17 - 6 = 11
11 = 11 11 = 11
18 is the nearest whole number
