A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0. 25 foot over 2 hours. After the leak is fixed, the height of the water is 4. 75 feet. The equation 4. 75 = x (negative 0. 25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool. What was the original height of the water in the pool in feet? 4. 5 5. 0 6. 5 7. 0.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Assuming the leak took 2 hours to fix, the original height of the pool is 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is probably the most simple "high school" problem I've seen in a while. All you have to do is move the negative 0.25 to the other side to isolate x. That gives you 4.75 + 0.25, or 5 feet.
