Question

An aquarium has 5 gallons of water in it and is being filled up at a rate of g gallons every m minute. The amount of water w in the tank can be represented by the equation
w = 5 + g - m. Write an equation that can be used to find the number of minutes m the tank has been filled if we know w and g.

Write an equation that can be used to find the number of minutes g the tank has been filled if we know w and a.

Answer 1

Answer:

m=5+g-w

Step-by-step explanation:

This should be the answer based on the equation given.

Answer 2

Answer:

• See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the amount of water is:

• w = 5 + gm

Solve for m:

• gm = w - 5
• m = (w - 5)/g

Now solve for g:

• gm = w - 5
• g = (w - 5)/m
