Question

A standard showerhead in Andrew's house dispenses 8 gallons of water per minute. Andrew changed this showerhead to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new showerhead.

y = 3x

How much water does Andrew save each day with the change in showerheads if he uses the shower for 8 minutes each day? (1 point)


5 gallons
16 gallons
24 gallons
40 gallons

Answer 1

@Directrix here's one

Answer 2

Standard Shower Head: 8 gallons of water per minute. y = 8 x

New Shower Head: 3 gallons of water per minute. y = 3x

Andrew showers 8 minutes per day.

y = 8* 8 = 64 on the old shower head

Y = 3*8 = 24 on the new shower head
