The amount of gallons of water remaining in a swimming pool after x hours is given by the equation, y = -4,000x + 20,000
How long before the pool is completely drained?
O 1 hour
5 hours
3 hours
6 hours

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool will be completely drained when y = 0

0 = -4,000x + 20,000

subtract 20,000 from both sides

-20,000 = -4,000x

divide both sides by -4,000

x = 5

Have a good day!

5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

When it is drained y will be = to zero, so

-4000x + 20000 = 0

-4000x = -20000

x = -20000/ -4000

= 5.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
