Question

Julian’s pool currently has twelve inches of water in it. He can pump eight inches of water into the pool every hour. In how many hours will the pool have 60 inches of water in it?

Answer 1

Y = 8x + 12

Now, plug in the 60.
60 = 8x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides.
48 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8.
6 = x

Swap sides.
x = 6

It would take 6 hours for the pool to have 60 inches of water inside it.

Answer 2

Hey there,

To solve this problem you have to start by:
60 divided by 8
You get 7.5
So you get 7 hours and 30 minutes

Hope I helped :)
