the number of gallons left in the tank)

Answer:

53.8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

5.4*3=16.2

5.4 (gallons used per shower) * 3 (number of showers) = 16.2 (gallons used in 3 showers)

70-16.2=53.8

70 (Water in tank) - 16.2 (gallons used in 3 showers) = 53.8 (gallons of water left)

Answer:

A(3) = 53.8 gallons left after 3 showers

Step-by-step explanation:

A(x) = volume of water left in tank = 70 gallons - (5.4 gallons)x, where x is the number of showers already taken.  

After  3 showers, the volume of water left is A(3) = 70 gal - (5.4 gallons)(3), or

A(3) = 53.8 gallons left after 3 showers
