1/6 = 0.16 with a line over the 6 because it is repeating
Can you take a more clear picture?? I can’t read it well. Looks like the awnser may be congruent. Yes
Answer:
5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's express each scenario as a function in a slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,
Where,
y = total amount of water
x = number of hours
m = rate of at which water is drained or filled per hour
b = initial quantity of water in the tank
✔️Equation for Tank A:
m = 2 gallons/hour = 2
b = 100 gallons = 100
Substitute m = 2 and b = 100 into y = mx + b:
y = 2x + 100
✔️Equation for Tank B:
m = 6 gallons/hour = -6 (this is negative 6 because water drains)
b = 140 gallons = 140
Substitute the values into y = mx + b
y = -6x + 140
✔️Set the two equation equal together to determine the number of hours (x) that must pass for the total amount of water (y) in tank A and tank B to be the same.
2x + 100 = -6x + 140
Collect like terms
2x + 6x = -100 + 140
8x = 40
Divide both sides by 8
x = 40/8
x = 5
Therefore, 5 hours must pass for the total amount of water in both tanks to be the same.
By applying the definition of logarithm, you have

So, if you consider the cubic root of both sides, you have
