A tank full of water is leaking at a constant rate for 15 minutes. The equation y=-8x+ 500
describes the amount of water in the tank, where y is the number of liters and
xis the number of minutes that has elapsed since the tank started to leak.
Which statement is true?

A. There were 8 liters in the tank when the leak started, and it is decreasing by 500 liters per minute.

B. There were 8 liters in the tank when the leak started, and it is increasing by 500 liters per minute.

C. There were 500 liters in the tank when the leak started, and it is decreasing by 8 liters per minute.

D. There were 500 liters in the tank after 15 minutes, and it is
decreasina bv 8 liters per minute.

C. There were 500 liters in the tank when the leak started, and it is decreasing by 8 liters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x is the rate of the leak and 500 is the initial value for water in the tank.

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
