A water tank holds 6000 litres when full.
The tank is full when water starts to flow out of it at a constant rate of 3 litres per minute until the tank is empty.
Which expression represents the volume (`V` litres) of water in the tank after `t` minutes?
`A`
`text{When}\ \ t=0, \ V=6000-0 xx 3 =6000`
`text{When}\ \ t=1, \ V=6000-1 xx 3 =5997`

A student is thinking of a number. Let the number be `x`.
When the student subtracts 8 from this number and multiplies the result by 3, the answer is 2 more than `x`.
Which equation can be used to find `x`?
`C`
`text(The description defines the following equation:)`

A plumber charges a call-out fee of $90 as well as $2 per minute while working.
Suppose the plumber works for `t` hours.
Which equation expresses the amount the plumber charges ($`C`) as a function of time (`t` hours)?
`D`
`text(Hourly rate)` | `= 60 xx 2` |
