5.) The weight (W) of a metal water tank is modeled by W 8.345G+3250. W = total weight of the water tank measured in pounds, G is the amount of water in the tank measured in gallons, and 3250 pounds is the weight of the empty tank. Find the number of gallons that can be hoisted by a crane capable of lifting 30 tons (60,000 pounds), rounded to the nearest whole number.
