The number of gallons g in a swimming pool being filled with water is g=50x+1,000 , where x is the number of hours since sunrise. It has been 10 hours since sunrise. What is the initial value?(1 point)

To find the initial value, we need to substitute the given value of x into the equation and solve for g.

g = 50x + 1000

Substituting x = 10:

g = 50(10) + 1000
= 500 + 1000
= 1500

Therefore, the initial value is 1500 gallons.
g=
The equation is g = 50x + 1000. The initial value (when x = 0) is found by substituting x = 0 into the equation:

g = 50(0) + 1000
= 0 + 1000
= 1000

Therefore, the initial value is 1000 gallons.
