<span>(3x − 4) feet
Solve as a square:
(3x - 4)(3x - 4) = </span><span>9x</span>²<span> − 24x + 16</span>
16 because 3 divided by 8 is 0.375 and 6 divided by 0.375 is 16.
Answer: The Millers need 15 gallons of water for 6 minutes.
Lets start by finding how much water is needed for 1 min shower.
<span>
25 gallons of water is used for 10 min shower:
</span>10 mins = 25 gallons <span>
To find 1 min shower, we will divide the 25 gallons of water by 10.
</span><span>
10 mins = 25 gallons </span>← Divide by 10 on both sides<span>
÷ 10 ÷ 10
1 min = 2.5 gallons
Now that we know the Millers need 2.5 gallons for every 1 minute of shower, we can find 6 minutes of shower by multiplying by 6.
1 min = 2.5 gallons</span> ← Multiply 6 on both sides<span>
x6 x6
6 min = 15 gallons
