Question

a leak is slowly draining water from a pool containing 324 gallons of water. How much water is remaining after 8 hours if it leaks 7 gallons per hour

Answer 1

268 gallons are remaining. The equation would be y=324-7x, with x being 8. 7(8) is 56, and then you take away 56 from 324, which then gives you 268 gallons remaining
