A swimming pool has 500 gallons of water in it and is leaking. The change in the amount of water in the pool is - 3 gallons per hour. How many gallons of water will the pool contain after 6 hours?

482 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

if the total amount in the pool is 500 gallons and it is leaking at - 3 gallons per hour then we can solve for how much it has lost in 6 hours by using this equation:

-3 (amount loss per hour) x 6 (number of hours) = - 18

Now we do 500 (total) - 18 (amount lost in 6 hours) = 482 gallons

Which means there are 482 gallons of water left after 6 hours.

Answer:it will be - 18 gallons
