Answer:

  • 10 seconds

Explanation:

Let the time be x

Sunnyville's community pool volume

  • 5.2 + 3.3x

Oceanview's Community Pool volume

  • 45.2 - 0.7x

They become equal after x seconds:

  • 5.2 + 3.3x = 45.2 - 0.7x
  • 3.3x + 0.7x = 45.2 - 5.2
  • 4x = 40
  • x = 40/4
  • x = 10 seconds
