Answer:
After 8 minutes will the temperature be 138.1 F
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The water has been on the stove
.....[1]
where
y represents the temperature in Fahrenheit(F)
x represents the time in minutes.
We have to find after how many minutes will the temperature be 138.1 F.
⇒y = 138.1 F
Substitute the given value in [1] to solve for x;

Subtract 62.1 from both sides we get;

Divide both sides by 9.5 we get;
8 = x
or
x = 8 minutes.
Therefore, after 8 minutes will the temperature be 138.1 F
