60 to the negative 3 power
The goal is to solve for y. Start by subtracting 2x from both sides. This gives you 8y=-2x+16. Now just divide both sides by 8, which gives you y=-2/8x+16/8. Finally, simplify this to y=-1/4x+2.
5a - 10*3 = 45
5a - 30 = 45
5a = 45 + 30
5a = 75
a = 15
Y equals negative one over three. absolute value of x plus 4. minus 2
Answer:

20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Water is leaking at a constant rate of 1/3 gallon per minute.
a) We have to write a linear equation in two variables that show the amount of water, w, in gallons, that is leaked from the faucet after t minutes.
So, the equation is
......... (1) (Answer)
b) Now, if t = 1 hour i.e. 60 minutes, then from equation (1) we can write
gallons.
Therefore, 20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour. (Answer)
