The amount of water in the pool after t minutes is modeled by the linear function
, hence it is a function of time.
A <em>linear function</em> for the amount of water in the pool, considering that it is <u>drained at a rate of a gallons per minute</u>, is modeled by:

- In which V(0) is the initial volume.
In this problem, draining her hot tub at a rate of <u>5.5 gallons per minute</u>, hence
, and:

Which is a function of time.

I don't understand what you mean but this might be the answer
Equation:
500-30x=130+20x
Since you want to find when they are the same, you put an equal sign. Also, since one is gaining and the other is losing, you have an addition and subtraction sign.
Solution:
370= 50x
x=7.4
