a barrel contains 103 gallons of paint and is being drained at a constant rate of 8 gallons per hour. Write an equation that models the number of gallons, g, after t hours

Question

hartnn · Answer

8 gallons in 1 hour ,so 8t gallons in 8 hours will be drained
initially u have 103 gallons, draining will cause reduction in amount, so you subtract 8t from 103, and you get 103-8t which is the amount remains after t hours,and its given to be g
so the equation is 
g=103-8t.
did u understand this?
