Answer:

variable: number of hours

inequality (unsimplified): 4x+3 > 2x+10

inequality (simplified): x > 3.5

at least 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use mx+b to solve this. m will be the rate at which the water level rises and b will be your stating point. x defines the hour; this is your varible as it can change

Tank A: 4x+3

Tank B: 2x+10

since we want to find when tank a will have be deeper than tank b, we set the inequality to solve for greater than tank a: 4x+3 > 2x+10

subtract 3 to both sides: 4x > 2x + 7

subtract 2x to both sides: 2x > 7

divide both sides by 2: x > 3.5

Find the equation of this line.<br>HELP

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(5,4) ; (-3, -2)

$Slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{-2-4}{-3-5}\\\\=\frac{-6}{-8}\\\\=\frac{3}{4}$

(5,4) & m = (3/4)

y -y1 = m(x-x1)

y - 4 = (3/4)(x - 5)

$y-4=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{3}{4}*5\\\\y-4=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}+4\\\\y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}+\frac{4*4}{1*4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}+\frac{16}{4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}$
