we know the pond has 700 liters to begin with, before any additional liters are added at the tune of 35 liters per minute, so after 1 minute we can say that the total amount of water is 700 + 35(1).

let's make a quick table of it

minutes........total water

1....................700 + 35(1)

2....................700 + 35(2)

3....................700 + 35(3)

4....................700 + 35(4)

5....................700 + 35(5)

6....................700 + 35(6)

T....................700 + 35(T)

W = 700 + 35T

Check the picture below.
