PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!!

Two pools are being filled with water. To start, the first pool had 972 liters of water and the second pool was empty. Water is being added to the first pool at a rate of 17 liters per minute. Water is being added to the second pool at a rate of 44 liters per minute.
Let x be the number of minutes water has been added.

Answer 1

Answer: To find the number of liters of water in the first pool after x minutes have passed, we can use the formula:

972 + 17x

To find the number of liters of water in the second pool after x minutes have passed, we can use the formula:

44x

Note that both of these formulas assume that the pools are being filled continuously, without any interruptions. If the flow of water into either pool is interrupted at any point, the actual amount of water in the pools may be different from what these formulas predict.

Answer 2

a)

17x + 972

44x

b)

972 + 17x = 44x
