To represent the amount of water in the tank after \( t \) minutes, we can start with the initial amount of water, which is 300 liters. Since water is being drained from the tank at a rate of 3 liters per minute, the amount of water drained after \( t \) minutes is \( 3t \) liters.
The expression for the amount of water left in the tank after \( t \) minutes is:
\[
300 - 3t
\]
So, the amount of water in the tank after \( t \) minutes is given by the expression \( 300 - 3t \).
The expression for the amount of water left in the tank after \( t \) minutes is:
\[
300 - 3t
\]
So, the amount of water in the tank after \( t \) minutes is given by the expression \( 300 - 3t \).
