If x is the age and y is the diameter of the trunk, write the equation:
ax+b=y
We must solve for a and b with the given information.
If (x, y) is (1, 4), we have:
a+b=4
If (x, y) is (10, 25), we have:
10a+b=25
Multiply the first equation by 10 to get:
10a+10b=40
Subtract the second equation from this to get:
9b=25
Thus b=25/9. a=4-25/9=11/9, so our equation is 11x/9+25/9=y.
2 Hours
this is because one pipe takes 4 hours, and if both pipes take 2 hours, that is cutting the time in half, meaning both pipes pour the same amount and take the same time.
hope this is helpful!
