We start at 62 Fahrenheit. And every hour we drop two degrees. We want to know how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.
If one hour passed, then the temperature dropped two degrees.
If two hours passed, then the temperature dropped 4 degrees.
See the pattern? We can define this as 2h. Where h represents time in hours.
We subtract 2h from 62.
We can write this as a function. F(h) = 62 - 2h.
Where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. And h is the hour(s).
Now that we have the formula, let's plug in the value 40 Fahrenheit to see how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 degrees.
40 = 62 - 2h
Subtract 62 from each side
-22 = -2h
Divide both sides by 2
h = 11
So, it took 11 hours for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

Answer:
35 - m
Step-by-step explanation:
A tank containing 35 gallons of water is leaking at a rate of gallon per minute.
"m" represents the number of minutes spent
Number of gallons left in the tank = initial amount of water present – leaked amount of water
Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – number of minutes spent rate of leakage.
Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – m minutes 1 gallons per minute
The answer here is no solution
