After it had been filling for 4 seconds, the gauge on the bottle indicates that it contains 10 ounces of water. After 11 seconds of filling, the gauge reads 24 ounces of water. Let y be the amount of water in the bottle x seconds after the water was turned on. write a linear equation. </SPAN>\n" );
