A cylindrical container has a height of 24 inches. Currently, the container is filled with water to a height of 18 inches. A leaky faucet drips into the container, causing the height of the water in the container to increase by 2 inches per hour. The equation below can be used to find t, the number of hours it would take to fill the container. 18 + ?t = 24 What number should be the coefficient of t?

Given:
height of cylindrical container = 24 inches
height of water in container = 18 inches
leaky faucet increases water by 2 inches per hour.

18 + ?t = 24

The coefficient of t is 2.

18 + 2t = 24
2t = 24 - 18
2t = 6
2t/2 = 6/2
t = 3

It would take 3 hours to fill the container.

18 + 2t = 24
18 + 2(3) = 24
18 + 6 = 24
24 = 24
