Answer:
standard showerhead in Andrew's house dispenses 8 gallons of water per minute. Andrew changed this shower head to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new shower head.
y = 3x
3/4 + 1 = 1.75 which is equivalent to 7/4
1- 3/4 = 0.25 which is equivalent to 1/4
the problem now looks like 7/4 / 1/4
you cancel out both 4
this problem simplified looks like 7/1
which is equivalent to 7 if you divide
The answer to your question would be w=9
