The pool is empty when you begin to fill it. The pool contains 15 gallons of water after 5 minutes. After 30 minutes, the pool contains 90 gallons of water.  Write an equation that gives the volume (in gallons) of water in the pool as a function of the number of minutes since you began filling it.  Explain how you can find the time it takes to put 150 gallons of water in the pool. </SPAN>\n" );
