Enter an equation in standard form to model the linear situation.

A barrel of oil was filled at a constant rate of 75 gal/min. The barrel had 11 gallons before filling began.


Sagot :

Assuming that  :

- The number of the gallons is symbolized by g

- Time per minute is symbolized by t

the equation would be :

g  =  10 + 7.5 t

Hope this helps

[tex]\large{\rm{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}}[/tex]

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the number of minutes for which the barrel is being filled. Then, the total amount of water filled will be Number of minutes × Amount of water filled/min. Also, The barrel had 11 gallons before filling began.

Hence,

Initial amount of water = 11 gallons

Amount of water being filled = 75 × [tex]x[/tex] = 75x

Total amount of water in the barrel = (75 [tex]x[/tex] + 11) gallons.
