Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x - 5 = -3
add 5 to both sides
-2x = 2
divide both sides by -2
x = -1
It would be equal to 1 7/8

this formula is used to determine gpm (gallons per minute) of flow with a known hose diameter (d) and nozzle pressure (np). The constant (29.7) is consistent when figuring flow with in gallons with a know pressure expressed in psi (pounds per square inch).
Scenario example: a firefighter is using a handline to fight fire with an 1 3/4 inch line with a nozzle pressure of 100 psi. How much water is the firefighter flowing when fighting fire?
