Answer 1

full problem:

The function f, where f(m) represents the amount of water, in gallons, remaining in a bathtub after m minutes of draining at a constant rate of 16 gallons per minute.

Complete the equation if W represents the amount of water, in gallons, in the bathtub before draining begins. Create a correct equation for the function.

Answer 2

If the bathtub drains at 16 gallons per minute m, then it drains 16*m or simply 16m gallons over the time span of m minutes.

Subtracting this from the original amount W to get the amount remaining.
