A large pot of water is heating up on a stove at a constant rate. After three minutes of heating it had a temperature of 100 ℉. After nine minutes of heating the temperature was at 148 ℉. Let T be the temperature and n be the number of minutes. Write a linear equation for T in terms of n.

Given function:

y=9.5x+62.1

We have to find the number of minutes x, when y=138.1°F

Put value of y in function.

138.1=9.5x+62.1

Subtract 62.1 from both sides.

76=9.5x

Divide both sides by 9.5.

8=x

or

x=8 minutes

After 8 minutes the temperature of water will be 138.1°

Step-by-step explanation:

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
