Answer:

After 3 minutes the tub will  have 17.8 gallons of water remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : The amount of water in a bathtub as it drains can be modeled by the equation,

  y = −7.3 x + 39.7      .............(1)

Where, y representing the number of gallons of water in the tub and x representing the time, in minutes.

We have to determine the time when the tub have 17.8 gallons of water remaining.

That is y = 17.8

Substitute y = 17.8 in (1) , we get,

⇒  y = −7.3 x + 39.7

⇒  17.8 = −7.3 x + 39.7

Solve for x , we get,

⇒  17.8 - 39.7 = −7.3 x

⇒ - 21.9 = −7.3 x

⇒  21.9 = 7.3 x

⇒  x = 3

Thus, after 3 minutes the tub will  have 17.8 gallons of water remaining.

Given function:
y=-7.3x+39.7
Where y= number of gallons of water
and x= number of minutes
Put value of y=17.8 gallons and solving for x.
17.8=-7.3x+39.7
Subtract 39.7 from both sides
-21.9=-7.3x
Divide both sides by -7.3
3=x
or
x=3 minutes
After 3 minutes the water in the tub will be 17.8 gallons.

Answer: 3 minutes

Jerry goes to a theme park to ride the roller coasters. The theme park charges an entry fee in addition to a fee for each roller
ratelena [41]
You start with: (assuming x equals the cost to enter and y the cost of going on the rollercoasters.)
x+5y=35
x+11y=59. Multiply the top equation by -1, and subtract the equations, giving you -6y=-24, divide by -6 into both sides of the equation, to get y=4. Now replace y in one of the original equations (I recommend x+5y=35) and solve for x, giving you x=15 

The cost for entering is 15 dollars, while each coaster is 4 dollars more. You could simplify this by changing y into x and making it slope-intercept form, to track your cost. y=4x+15, so it has a slope of 4, and a y-intercept of 15. This answer should give you a good grade on a test.
