Respuesta :

Given

The first pool has 3650 liters of water.

The second pool has 4166 liters of water.

It is also given that water drained from first pool at a rate of 27 liters per minute.

The water drained from the second pool at a rate of 39 liters per minute.

Explanation

a. Let the x be the number of minutes water has been drained.

The amount of water in the first pool in liters

[tex]3650-27x[/tex]

The amount of water in the second pool in liters

[tex]4166-39x[/tex]

b. To determine the equation when both the pools has same amount of water.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3650-27x=4166-39x \\ 39x-27x=4166-3650 \\ 12x=516 \\ x=43 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer

a. The amount of water in first pool in liters is 3650-27x.

The amount of water in second pool in liters is 4166-39x.

b. The equation when both the pools has same amount of water is x=43.
