Answer is in the picture.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms (terms with the same exponent).

"Standard form" means to list terms so the exponents go from high to low (descending order).
So we know the tank already has 5 gallons and we need 9. This means we need 4 more gallons in order to fill up the tank.
If 1/4 gallon is being filled per minute we need to find out how many 1/4 gallons makes up 4 gallons in total.
4 of the 1/4 gallons makes up 1 whole gallon. So since we need 4 whole gallons we would need 16 of the 1/4 gallons.
This means that it will take 16 minutes for the tank to hold 9 gallons of water.
Answer:
I got 2 as an answer
Step-by-step explanation:

![{x}^{4} = 16 \\ \sqrt[4]{ {x}^{4} } = \sqrt[4]{16} \\ x = 2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B4%7D%20%20%3D%2016%20%5C%5C%20%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B4%7D%20%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B16%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20x%20%3D%202)
