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. Write an equation relating to W to T then use this equation to find the total amount of water after 11 minutes.

we have that

the linear equation that represents this situation is

W=31T+600

so

For T=11 min

substitute

W=31(11)+600

W=941 liters
