Using proportions, it is found that the rate of water flow was of 6 miles per hour.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the bottle flowed 1 mile in 10 minutes. How much does it flow in 1 hour = 60 minutes? The <em>rule of three</em> is given by:

1 mile - 10 minutes

x miles - 60 minutes

Applying cross multiplication:

10x = 60

x = 60/10

x = 6.

Hence, the rate of water flow was of 6 miles per hour.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. distribute the X to the X in the parenthesis and you get 2x. Then distribute the X to the -7 in the parenthesis and you get -7x. Combine like terms so that would be 2x-7x and you get -5x.

C. distribute the 6x to the X in the parenthesis and you get 7x. Then distribute the 6x to the 2 in parenthesis and you get 8x. Combine like terms so that would be 7x+8x and you get 15x.

E. Not sure on this one, sorry.
