    The situation expressed as a linear equation in two variables is y = 7 * x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here we have the rate of leakage of the faucet = 7 gallon per hour

    Therefore, If y gallons leak in x hours from 6:00 am we have

    Amount of gallons leaked = Gallons leaking per hour * Number of hours

    Since our amount of gallons leaked is y gallons and

    The number of hours of the leakage = x hours also

    The leakage rate = 7 gallons per hour we then have;

    y gallons leaked = 7 gallons/hour * x hours

    The situation expressed as a linear equation in two variables =

    y = 7 * x.
