Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 18 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, set up a ratio.

# of towels over time taken:

$\frac{6}{3} = \frac{36}{x}$

Cross multiply:

6x = 108

Divide both sides by 6:

6x/6 = 108/6

x = 18 minutes.

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the total amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tahk. Wh

Answer:

2002 pounds

Explanation:

To know the weight of the plane, we need to find an equation that relates the amount of fuel to the weight.

This equation can be founded using the following

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where m is the slope, x1 is the number of gallons and y1 is the respective weight. So, replacing m = 6.0, x1 = 51 gallons and y1 = 2206 pounds, we get:
