Question 1104492: Two pools are being filled with water. To start, the first pool contains
823
liters of water and the second pool contains
1300
liters of water. Water is being added to the first pool at a rate of
35.75
liters per minute. Water is being added to the second pool at a rate of
22.5
liters per minute.
1.AFTER HOW MANY MINUTES WILL THE TWO POOLS HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF WATER?
2.HOW MUCH WATER WILL BE IN EACH POOL WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT?

x, time in minutes

First Pool
g%28x%29=35.75x%2B823

Second Pool
h%28x%29=22.5x%2B1300

Use these functions to answer the questions. g and h are amounts of water in the pools as functions of time x.
