Now, solve for y, the temperature of the water after 6 minutes.

Question

y
=
10x+20
y
=
10·6+20
y
=

Answer 1

To find the temperature of the water after 6 minutes using the equation \( y = 10x + 20 \), we can substitute \( x = 6 \) into the equation:

\[ y = 10 \cdot 6 + 20 \]

Calculating this:

\[ y = 60 + 20 \] \[ y = 80 \]

So, the temperature of the water after 6 minutes is \( y = 80 \) degrees.
