Answer 5

1/5

Answer 6

wait why did u delete it

Answer 7

Initially at t=0 suppose is the instant when the container had 5 gallons of water. After time t=10mins, the container has 3 gallons, so water leaked =5-3 =2 gallons in 10 minutes hence rate of leak=2/10=1/5 gallons per minute

Answer 8

okay wht about my second part

Answer 9

i got 25 min

Answer 10

rate of leak=1/5 gallons per minute. You need to find the time when leak=5 gallons. Now 1minute =1/5 gallons of leak hence 1gallon of leak==5 minute therefore 5 gallon of leak=5*5=25 minutes

Answer 15

Ok first we need to construct the equation of the line from the first two points. Did you construct it? @hhmh4

Answer 16

hold up

Answer 17

-4 is the answer,

Answer 18

okay thank you soooo much

Answer 19

see the equation of the line connecting the first two points is (x-6)/(8-6)=(y-3)/(4-3) this implies x=2y. Putting y=-2 we have n=-4

Answer 20

ohh yes
