4x/x adding 10 to each
4x+10/x+10 =2
Multiple x+10 to each side
4x+10=2x+20
Then subtract and get
2x=10
Divide
X=5
Now plug it back in

Answer:
a) 7 tiles
b)4 1/3 tiles*
Step-by-step explanation:
*you would need 5 tiles if the answer isn't supposed to be a fraction. 4 1/3 is the exact amount but if they are asking for whole tiles you need to put 5. since they didn't actually specifiy that i don't think you have to worry about it. i would go with 4 1/3 tiles
Answer:
A, or 16 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to analyze what the function means. It tells you that x is the number of minutes in the shower, so now we have y=3(minutes in shower). Logically, 3 has to be gallons per minute so that the equation makes sense, since you're multiplying 3 by minutes in the shower. It also uses the same phrasing in the beginning of the problem when it says "A standard shower head in Jen's house dispenses 5 gallons of water per minute." Now, it's 3 gallons of water per minute (x). That means y has to be overall gallons. So, now the equations is overall gallons=3 gallons per minute. If she uses the shower for 8 minutes we can plug in for x. So now the equation is overall gallons=3 gallons times 8 minutes, or overall gallons=24 gallons. With the new shower head, 24 gallons is used. Now to find for the old shower head. 5 gallons per minute times 8 minutes = 40 gallons. Now we subtract to find out how many gallons Jen saves each day. 40-24=16. She saves 16 gallons.
