First, complete the story below so that it can be represented by the equation 5000-50x=4800-30x

Pool A started with 5000 liters of water, and 50 liters per minute are being (Drained out or Pumped back in)
Pool B started with 4800 liters of water, and 30 liters per minute are being (Drained out or Pumped back in)

The amount of water after x minutes is more in which pool? Pool A or Pool B?

Respuesta :

Amount of water after x minutes is more in pool B.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

Given,

Pool A started with 5000 liters of water, and 50 liters per minute are being.

Pool B started with 4800 liters of water, and 30 liters per minute are being.

5000-50x=4800-30x

Add 30x on both sides

5000-50x+30x=4800-30x+30x

5000-20x=4800

5000-4800=20x

200=20x

Divide both sides by 20

20=x

Now substitute x in pool A equation

5000-50x

5000-50(20)=5000-1000

Pool A =4000

Now substitute x in pool B equation

4800-30x

4800-30(20)

4800-600

Pool B =4200

4200>4000

Pool B> Pool A

Hence amount of water after x minutes is more in pool B.
