Answer:

1. y=2x+15

2. 45.5 min

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You find 2x by looking at the give rate of gallons (2) a min (x). This information is given in the word problem. This gives the equation of y=2x. But you already have 15 gallons in the pool, so you need to add the +15 at the end of the equation giving you y=2x+15.

2. Y is the total gallons. This is 106 gallons (given in the word problem). We are trying to solve for x (# of minutes to fill the pool). 106=2x+15. subtract 15 from both sides giving 91=2x. Divide both sides by 2 giving x=45.5. It will take 45.5 minutes to fill up the pool.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The survey results will be inaccurate since the entire sample of the population was eating at the same restaurant.

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing a survey you must make sure it is unbiased by asking a variety of people for example if you are wondering what is the favorite class at school you have to ask a certain amount of people from each class because if you ask only people from P.E the answer more than likely will be P.E or if u ask 3 people from Art and 17 from P.E your answer will properly be P.E. Make sense?
