O 160 minutes
O 145 minutes
O 135 minutes
O 120 minutes

Respuesta :

The number of minutes it would take for the two pools to have the same amount of water is 135 minutes.

How many minutes would it take for the water to be the same?

The equation that represents the amount of water in the pool filled by Roger is: 2500 + 5m

The equation that represents the amount of water in the pool drained by Maria is: 5200 - 15m

When the two pools have the same amount of water, the two above equations would be equal:

2500 + 5m = 5200 - 15m

Combine similar terms

5m + 15m = 5200 - 2500

Add similar terms

20m = 2700

Divide both sides by 20

m = 135
