I think the answer is the slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 12
So 2 gallons every 5 minutes
2/5= .4
so .4 a minute
and you already have 5 gallons in so those need to be added
m=minutes
y=0.4m + 5 will be what you want to find out if you are looking to find out how much will be there in a certain time
for 50 minutes you will have
y=0.4(50) +5
20+5
25 gallons
HOWEVER, the equation has to be changed if you want to tell how long you have to wait for it to fill.
m=2.5(g-5)
m=minutes
g= gallons
you subtract 5 because they are already there
you multiply by 2.5 because it fills at a rate of 1 gallon every 2.5 minutes.
m=2.5(1500-5)
for the sake of it being easier i will do the -5 separately
2.5(1500 = 3750
2.5(-5= -12.5
3750-12.5
3737.5 minutes to fill the pool.
3720/60 = 62
17.5/60 = .292
62.292 hours to fill the pool.
p.s. you have a really slow hose.
Its good you didn't wait for it to fill, you would have died from lack of water before then if you just sat and waited.

Answer:
x= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5 -2(x +5)= 3x -15
Expand:
5 -2x -2(5)= 3x -15
5 -2x -10= 3x -15
Simplify:
-2x -5= 3x -15
Bring x terms to 1 side, constant to the other:
3x +2x= 15 -5
5x= 10
Divide both sides by 5:
x= 10 ÷5
x= 2
It's simply 4,2,0,-2..... the pattern is just subtracting two as you go on.
<span>The Gonzalez family drove 342 miles in 6 hours. 342 ÷ 6 = 57 mph</span>
<span /><span>The Wilson family drove 472 miles in 8 hours. 472 ÷ 8 = 59 mph</span>
<span>So your answer is D. Wilson; 59 mi/h</span>
<span>Hope this helps. :)
