A standard showerhead in Marty's house dispenses 7 gallons of water per minute. Marty changed this showerhead to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new showerhead. y = 3x How much water does Marty save each day with the change in showerheads if he uses the shower for 8 minutes each day? 4 gallons 12 gallons 32 gallons 53 gallons

32 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard showerhead in Marty's house dispenses 7 gallons of water per minute. If he showers for 8 minutes, he uses:

1 minute = 7 gallons

8 minutes = x

x = 7 × 8 minutes = 56 gallons of water

We are told that:

Marty changed this showerhead to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new showerhead. y = 3x

The equation for the energy saving shower:

y = 3x

Where x is the number of minutes spent in the shower

For 8 minutes

y = 3 × 8

y = 24 gallons

The gallons of water Marty saved each day with the change in showerheads if he uses the shower for 8 minutes each day is calculated as:

56 gallons - 24 gallons

= 32 gallons

your answer would be c. 32 gallons my good person
