Question

What is the algebraic expression for this story problem?

Answer 1

1.       Give the algebraic expression of the given story:
=> A tank is filling a water from natural Spring.
=> 2 days ago water measured 10 feet deep
=> yesterday the water measured 12 feet deep
=> And the water rises the same amount each day. Algebraic expression is:
=> Since the filling of water in the tank is constant per day which means the water rises 2 feet per additional day.
=> let’s assign a variable for the number of days. Let’s have X
Now, let’s add the total of water depth 2 days ago until today.
=> 10(2 days ago) + 2(yesterday) + 2(today)
=> 14 feet
Then the algebraic expression would be:
=> 14 + 2x
where x is equals to the number of days that will pass.
