The pool already has 12 gallons of water, and he wants to fill it to at least 27 gallons. The water flows at a rate of 6 gallons per minute.
How many minutes, x, will it take for Eric to fill the pool with at least 27 gallons of water?

Inequality that represents this situation:
27≤12+6x

To solve the inequality, you can begin by solving the equation as shown.

Drag a diagram to each row of the table to show which number line represents all of the solutions for the inequality and which number line represents all of the solutions for the problem situation.

Answer:

2.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not really sure how to use the equation but this is how you do it:

There are 12 gallons already there and they want to get to 27 so he needs 15 more gallons. We know that it fills up 6 gallons a minute so to fill the 60 gallon pool it will take 10 minutes. 15 is a quarter of 60 so you divide 10 by 4. This gets you 2.5.
