A barrel contains 112 gallons of water and is being drained at a constant rate of 5 gallons per hour.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "this means that 5 gals are subtracted from 112 for each hour that passes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation that models the number of gallons, g, after t hours.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation that models the given situation is: g = 112 - 5t
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
