A 55 gallon barrel is filled with a mix of Oil and Water. Oil weighs 6 pounds per gallon, water weighs 8 pounds per gallon. Graph equations that describes the relationship of the gallons of oil in the barrel and the total weight of the contents. Start by defining a couple of relationships: 1. gallons of Water and gallons of Oil will add up to 55 gallons: W+O=55 -or - O=55-W 2. The weight of the oil is 6 pounds times the number of gallons of Oil. (6 pounds per gallon) 3. The weight of the water is 8 pounds times the number of gallons of Water. (8 pounds per gallon) 4. The total weight in Pounds of the contents will be relationships 2 and 3 added together: P=(O*6) + (W*8) -or- O=(P-W*8)/6 If the barrel weighs 360 Pounds, how many gallons of water are in the mix? (Substitute X and Y for O and W and Graph relationships 1 and 4, and where they cross, will be the quantities of oil and water.)

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
A 55 gallon barrel is filled with a mix of Oil and Water. Oil weighs 6 pounds per gallon, water weighs 8 pounds per gallon. Graph equations that describes the relationship of the gallons of oil in the barrel and the total weight of the contents.
Start by defining a couple of relationships:
1. gallons of Water and gallons of Oil will add up to 55 gallons: W+O=55 -or - O=55-W
2. The weight of the oil is 6 pounds times the number of gallons of Oil. (6 pounds per gallon)
3. The weight of the water is 8 pounds times the number of gallons of Water. (8 pounds per gallon)
4. The total weight in Pounds of the contents will be relationships 2 and 3 added together: P=(O*6) + (W*8) -or- O=(P-W*8)/6
If the barrel weighs 360 Pounds, how many gallons of water are in the mix? (Substitute X and Y for O and W and Graph relationships 1 and 4, and where they cross, will be the quantities of oil and water.)
