An employee at a garden center fills a water tank once a day to a height of 20 inches. The function M models the height of the water in the tank, M(x) , in inches, after seconds on Monday as it fills. M(x) = 5x On Wednesday, the employee gets more hoses and is able to fill the tank four times as fast as Monday. She starts filling the tank with all hoses at exactly the same time. The new function W models the height of the water in the tank, W(x) , in inches, after seconds as it fills. Write an algebraic
