Interpreting a Linear Equation At 12:00 P.M. the volume of water in a tank started changing steadily over time. The volume V measured in gallons, t minutes after the water volume started to change is given by the equation V = 1600 + 0.8t. The equation tells us that the volume of water in the tank was initially 1600 e gallons, and that the volume is increasing o by 0.8 o gallons per minute v
