An average swimming pool contains 19200 gallons of water. The pool needs drained at the end of the summer. Water drains from the pool at the rate of 12 gallons per minute. Which equation can be used to find the volume, V, of the water in the pool m minutes after draining begins?

V = 19200 - 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool contains 19200 gallons of water.

Now we are told that water drains from the pool at the rate of 12 gallons per minutes.

Now, we want to find the volume, V, of the water in the pool, "m" minutes after draining begins.

Since water drains at 12 gallons per minutes, it means that after "m" minutes, the total amount that would have been drained is 12m gallons.

Thus, total volume V left after m minutes can be expressed as;

V = 19200 - 12m
