Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

Time to fill the tube with 46.2 gallons

The attached table is a represents a direct proportional relationship between x and y.

This relationship is:

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

When (x,y) = (1,16.5), we have:

So, we have:

To calculate the required time to fill 46.2 gallons, we make x the subject

Where

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
