Question

A standard shower head in reyna's house dispenses 9 gallons of water per minute. Reyna changed this showerhead to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new showerhead. Y = 3x how much water does reyna save each day with the change in showerheads if she uses the shower for 8 minutes each day

Answer 1

Answer:

48 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard shower head in reyna's house dispenses 9 gallons of water per minute

Water Used in 8 minutes = 9 * 8 = 72 gallons

New Dispenser

Y = 3x

Y = water dispensed , x = number of minutes

=> Water Used in 8 minutes = 3 * 8 = 24 gallons

Water Saved = 72 - 24 = 48 gallons

reyna save 48 gallons  water each day with the change in showerheads
