Answer:
The situation expressed as a linear equation in two variables is y = 7 × x
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the rate of leakage of the faucet = 7 gallon per hour
Therefore, If y gallons leak in x hours from 6:00 am we have
Amount of gallons leaked = Gallons leaking per hour × Number of hours
Since our amount of gallons leaked is y gallons and
The number of hours of the leakage = x hours also
The leakage rate = 7 gallons per hour we then have;
y gallons leaked = 7 gallons/hour × x hours
The situation expressed as a linear equation in two variables =
y = 7 × x.
