Answer 4

So look at the graph, the number of gallons is on the y-axis

Answer 5

i think the answers are a and b or c and d

Answer 6

you can see as the time increases, the number of gallons is decreasing

Answer 7

so trace the line from when y = 45

what is the x-value?

we want x-values that are less than that
(because remember as time is going on, the number of gallons is decreasing and we want a time where there will be more gallons)

Answer 8

the x value would be 11 if y was 45

Answer 9

good and now which answer choices tell us that we will have x-values that are less than 11

because if we have a time that's bigger than 11, then we will have less than 45 gallons
we want a time less than 11 so we have more than 45 gallons

Answer 10

a

Answer 11

and b
i think

Answer 12

a says x > 11

which means we will get x as 12, 13 , 14, ...

we want the opposite of that so we have to flip the sign

x < 11 will give us x as 10, 9, 8, ...

Answer 13

ohhh

Answer 14

so its c and d

Answer 15
