Answer:
The rate at which water leaking is gal/min.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A large container holds 8 gallons of water.
After 56 minutes the container only has 1 gallon of water left.
Now, to find at what rate is the water leaking.
So, water leaked from the container = 8 gallons - 1 gallon = 7 gallons.
Time taken for leakage = 56 minutes.
<em>Now, to get the rate:</em>
The rate = gal/min.
Therefore, the rate at which water is leaking is gal/min.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
A. these simply to 21 + 7x and 21 + 3x
- this one is incorrect because the 7x and 3x are different
B. these simplify to 10 + x and 10 + x
- this is the correct one since they are exactly the same
C. these simplify to 21x and 7x + 21
- these two are not the same because one expression has only a number with a variable but the other one has a number with a variable <em>and </em>another number
D. these simplify to and
- in subtraction, the order of the 3 and the x matters, so the equations are not the same
- example: 6 - 4 = 2 but 4 - 6 = -2
