A barrel of oil was filled at a constant rate of 7.9 gal/min. The barrel had 12 gallons before filling began.

Respuesta :

The equation that models this situation is z = 7.9y + 12.

A linear equation is a function that has a single variable raised to the power of 1.  An example is x = 4y + 2.

Where:

  • 2 is the constant
  • x = dependent variable
  • y = independent variable  

From the equation given, 12 would be the constant, the independent variable would be 7.9 and z would be the dependent variable.

z = 7.9y + 12

Here is the complete question: A barrel of oil was filled at a constant rate of 7.9 gal/min. The barrel had 12 gallons before filling began. write an equation in standard form to model the linear situation.
