Two pools are being drained. To start, the first pool had 3650 liters of water and the second pool had 4166 liters of water. Water is being drained from the firs pool at a rate of 27 liters per minute. Water is being drained from the second pool at a rate of 39 liters per minute. Let x be the number of minutes water has been drained. (a) For each pool, write an expression for the amount of water in the pool after x minutes. D=0 Amount of water in the first pool (in liters) =|| Amount of water in the second pool (in liters) =| (b) Write an equation to show when the two pools would have the same amount of water.

Applications Waste management The corrosive waste is industrial sewage limits the useful life of the piping in a waste processing plant to 12 years. The piping system was originally worth 137,000, and it will cost the company 33, 000 to remove it at the end of its 12-year useful life. Find a depreciation equation.

Demand equations The number of photo scanners that consumers buy depends on price. The higher the price, the fewer photo scanners people will buy. The equation that relates price to the number of photo scanners sold at that price is called a demand equation. If the demand for a photo scanner is P=110q+170, where p is the price and q is the number of photo scanners sold at that price, how many photo scanners will be sold at a price of 150?
