Water is leaking from a tap at a rate of x cm³/min.(a) Write down an expression for the time taken to collect 50 cm³ of water.(b) When the tap is tightened, the water leaks at 3 cm/min less. Write down anexpression for the time taken to collect the same amount of water.(c) The difference between the two times is 1.5 minutes. Form an equation in x andshow that it reduces to x-3x-100 = 0.(d) Solve this equation, giving your answers correct to 1 decimal place.(e) Hence, find the time taken to collect 50 cm of water, correct to the nearest second,before the tap is tightened.
