The hampton family has a fish tank holding 10450 ml of water. the water is leaking at a rate of 270ml per minute. write a function to model this situation

Ok, lets visualize this scenario. We have a tank that is holding10450 ml of water. Then it tells use it is leaking at a rate of 270 ml per minute. Well, leaking would suggest something is being subtracted. Also, per minute means it is being subtracted each minutes so we use an x to represent the minutes. Ok, lets build the model

10450 - 270x = 0
The model above will tell us how many minutes it will take for the tank to be empty.

If we insert a number for x, the model below will tell us how many ml has leaked for the number of minutes we inserted into x.
10450 - 270x
