A backyard swimming pool has two fill pipes and a drain pipe. The pool fills in 9 hours with the first fill pipe. Draining the pool with the drain pipe takes 1 hour longer than filling the pool with the second fill pipe. If all three pipes are open at once, the pool can be filled in 8 hours. How many hours would draining the pool take with the two fill pipes closed?
