In this equation, let "x" equal the rate at which the tub will be filled. The tub holds 32 gallons, which will be one half of the equation. The tub already contains 12 gallons, so this will be half of the other side of the equation. The rate is "x" gallons per minute, and the time it required was 5 minutes, so this would be "5x". Placing all these parts together gives an equation of (32 = 5x + 12) gallons per minute dispensed.

Answer:

In standard equation format, the condition can be written as [tex]V=5x+12[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The capacity of the bathtub is 32 gallons.

The water already in the tub is 12 gallon.

It takes 5 minutes for the tub to be filled.

Let x be the flow rate of water through tap, in gallon per minutes.

Now, the water filled in the tank in 5 minutes will be [tex]5x[/tex] gallons.

So, in equation, the given condition can be written as,

[tex]V=5x+12\\32=5x+12[/tex]

here V represents the volume of the bathtub.

Therefore, in standard equation format, the condition can be written as [tex]V=5x+12[/tex].
