(a) Complete the story below so that it can be represented by the equation 15x + 3800 = 25x + 3300.
Pool A started with [] liters of water, and [] liters per minute []
Pool B started with [] liters of water, and [] liters per minute []
The amount of water after x minutes is []
(b) Solve for x.
For this equation (and story): x = []

Answer

  1. Pool A started with 3800 liters of water, and 15 liters per minute are being pumped in.

    Pool B started with 3300 liters of water, and 25 liters per minute are being pumped in.

    The amount of water after x minutes is equal.

  2. Solve for x:
    15x + 3800 = 25x + 3300
    3800 - 3300 = 25x - 15x
    500 = 10x
    x = 50
