2. water is leaking from a faucet at a constant rate of 1/3 gallon per minute.
a write a linear equation in two variables that shows the amount of water, w, in gallons per minute, that is
leaked from the faucet after t minutes.
b. how much water is leaked after an hour (60 minutes)?

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 ......... (1) (Answer)

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

gallons.

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

5x+10 is the correct one

hope this
