How am I supposed to answer this question if it doesn't tell me how many gallons the energy-saving showerhead uses compared to t

he regular one?
A standard showerhead in Jen's house dispenses 5 gallons of water per minute. Jen changed this showerhead to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new showerhead.

y = 3x

How much water does Jen save each day with the change in showerheads if she uses the shower for 8 minutes each day?

16 gallons
17 gallons
32 gallons
37 gallons

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.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

3rd answer down

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so you take the median of all the #'s which turns out to be 126.5 and that is where your bar should point to in the box, then you should start with 105, and your last bit of the line should end at 150, the start of your box should start at the median of 105 and 117, and the end of your box should stop at the median of 145 and 150.

A worker at a snack stand opened a new box of cups. The first day he used 30 cups , the second day the worker used 15 percent of
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the first day he used 30 cups

the second day he used 15% of the remaining cups...a total of 90 cups were used on second day.

so 15%of the remaining cups = 90.....so if u let x be the total cups, then the remaining cups would be x - 30

15% of (x - 30) = 90.....turn ur percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply

0.15(x - 30) = 90

0.15x - 4.5 = 90

0.15x = 90 + 4.5

0.15x = 94.5

x = 94.5 / 0.15

x = 630 total cups <==

lets check..

start with 630 cups....used 30 the first day....leaving u with 600 cups....15% of the remaining cups = 90.....so 15% of 600 = 90....lets check it

15%of 600 = 0.15(600) = 90...yep, thats correct....there were 630 cups in the new un-opened box

Which shows how to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step?
My name is Ann [436]

option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have , The given expression as Three-fourths x = negative 6  , which can be written as \frac{3}{4} (x) = -6 . Now in order to solve this equation in one step , we must notice that coefficient of x must be 1 but it's  \frac{3}{4} , Let's make coefficient of x  as 1 by multiplying both side of equations by 4/3:

\frac{3}{4} (x) = -6

⇒ \frac{3}{4} (x) = -6

⇒ \frac{3}{4}(\frac{4}{3} ) (x) = -6(\frac{4}{3} )

⇒ x = -6(\frac{4}{3} )

⇒ x = -2(4)

⇒ x = -8

Therefore, x= -8 & correct option to solve the equation Three-fourths x = negative 6 for x in one step is <u>option A i.e. Three-fourths (four-thirds) x = negative 6 (four-thirds).</u>
