A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0.25 foot over 2 hours. After the leak is fixed, the height of th

e water is 4.75 feet. The equation 4.75 = x + (negative 0.25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool.
What was the original height of the water in the pool in feet?

Answer:

Assuming the leak took 2 hours to fix, the original height of the pool is 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is probably the most simple "high school" problem I've seen in a while. All you have to do is move the negative 0.25 to the other side to isolate x. That gives you 4.75 + 0.25, or 5 feet.

Answer:

(B) 5 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

if water decresed .25 feet it was then .25 feet higher originally.

if the  water is 4.75 feet now you add the .25 compared to that equalling 5 ft.

PLEASE HELP 2O POINTS

C. The first is a solution, but the second is not.

5x - y/3 = 13 ; (2,-9)
substitute the letters:
5(2) - (-9/3) = 13 
10 - (-3) = 13 : note that deducting a number with a negative sign turns both sign as positive.
10 + 3 = 13 ;
13 = 13

5x - y/3 = 13 ; (3,-6)
5(3) - (-6/3) = 13
15 - (-2) = 13
15 + 2 = 13
17 = 13 not equal. not a solution

hope i could help
