WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR RIGHT ANSWER!!

Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. They are adding water at a rate of 33 liters per minute. There are 500 liters in the pond to start.

Let W represent the total amount of water in the pond (in liters), and let T represent the total number of minutes that water has been added.

1. Write an equation relating W to T.
2. Then use this equation to find the total amount of water after 14 minutes.

Respuesta :

Answers:

  1. The equation is W = 33T + 500
  2. After 14 minutes, there are   962   liters of water.

=======================================================

Explanation:

  • T = number of minutes
  • 33T = amount of added water in liters, since we're adding 33 liters per min.
  • 33T+500 = adding on the initial 500 liters

This leads to the equation W = 33T + 500

------------------------

Plug in T = 14

W = 33T + 500

W = 33*14 + 500

W = 462 + 500

W = 962 liters of water are in the pond after 14 minutes
