Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. 12 minutes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for y, when x = 12, as follows:

y = 175 - 15x

y = 175 - 15 * 12

y = 175 - 180

y = - 5

This result means that after 12 minutes the fish tank would be completely drained and if it's needed 5 additional gallons of water could also be drained. It's not necessary to continue making more calculation with the the other options given because this is the right answer.

<u>The correct answer is A. 12 minutes.</u>
