Hey there!
So, if

, this would mean that we would do

and from this, we would get 8.
We will then need to find what is

.


=

So, the equation would really look like
. . .
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 8*(7)-2*4 = 48 \\ \\ x=\boxed{7}\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%208%2A%287%29-2%2A4%20%3D%2048%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20x%3D%5Cboxed%7B7%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Hope this helps.

Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for similar ones
the number of bottles of water remaining as a function of time:
f(x) = -78x + 468
1.3 bottles are sold per minute x 60 minutes per hour = 78 bottles per hour
x = number of hours
the slope is -78
the y intercept is 468
domain = 0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5 hours (from 10 AM to 5:30 PM)
range = 0 ≤ y ≤ 468 bottles
the snack will run out of bottles of water by 4 PM
78x = 468
x = 468 / 78 = 6 hours
if the snack wants to have enough bottles of water to serve all its customers, it will need:
78 x 7.5 hours = 585 bottles of water
