Afamily’s well pumps on average 8 gal of water per min. the well’s tank had 1200 gal of water in the morning. which equation models the amount of water in the tank y after it has been pumping for x min?

it pumps 8 gallons a minute so it is 8x ( 8 gallons times x minutes)

you then need to subtract that amount from 1200

 lets say it pumped for 10 minutes,  8 *10 = -80

1200 - 80 =1120

 now the answers you have to choose from are kind of tricky because they don't give you the easiet one

 so using the numbers above

 the formula would be

1120 = -80+1200 =

y =-8x +1200

step-by-step explanation:

i dont get

they can both be solutions depends on the equation
