X + x + 3(2+x)= 36
2x + 6 + 3x = 36
5x + 6 = 36
5x = 36 - 6
5x = 30
x = 6
Longer piece = 2 + 6 = 8inches

2. Water is leaking from a faucet at a constant rate of 1/3 gallon per minute.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

$W = \frac{1}{3}t$

20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is leaking at a constant rate of 1/3 gallon per minute.

a) We have to write a linear equation in two variables that show the amount of water, w, in gallons, that is leaked from the faucet after t minutes.

So, the equation is $W = \frac{1}{3}t$ ......... (1) (Answer)

b) Now, if t = 1 hour i.e. 60 minutes, then from equation (1) we can write

$W = \frac{1}{3}\times 60 = 20$ gallons.

Therefore, 20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour. (Answer)
