Solution

To determine the initial depth of water in the tank, we need to find the depth d d when the time t t is zero.

Given the equation: 3d=6t+210 3d = -6t + 210

Step 1: Substitute t=0 t = 0 into the equation. 3d=6(0)+210 3d = -6(0) + 210

Step 2: Simplify the equation. 3d=210 3d = 210

Step 3: Solve for d d by dividing both sides of the equation by 3. d=2103 d = \frac{210}{3} d=70 d = 70

Therefore, the initial depth of water in the tank is 70 cm.
