    The new shower head dispenses 3 gallons of water per minute, as shown in the equation y = 3x.

    So, 3 x 8 = 24.

    Then, to find out how much he saves each day, you would find how much he used before,

    11 x 8 = 88

    Next we want to see how much Nathan saved, so we subtract the total,

    88 - 24 = 64

    Nathan saved 64 gallons.
