You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the average american uses 100 gallons of water each day.
a.write an equation that gives the gallons of water that a person uses the t days.
f(t) = 100t
b.graph the equation for t greater than or equal to 0.
you do this part
c.how many days does it take for the average american to uses 5000 gallons of water?
set f(t) to 5000 and solve for t:
f(t) = 100t
5000 = 100t
50 days = t
