The number of gallons g in a swimming pool being filled with water is g=50x+1,000 , where x is the number of hours since sunrise. It has been 10 hours since sunrise. What is the initial value?
gallons
To find the initial value, we need to substitute the given value of x=10 into the equation g=50x+1,000 :
g = 50(10) + 1,000
g = 500 + 1,000
g = 1,500
Therefore, the initial value of the gallons in the swimming pool is 1,500 gallons.
