Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2.285 hours

y = 2.1425  feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that y represents the depth of the pool in feets and x represents the time in hours

The two set of equations are

y = 1/2x + 1

y= -1.25x + 5

Solving the above two equations we get

Subtracting eq (1) from eq (2), we get -

y-y = -1.25 x -0.5 x + 4

0 -1.75 x + 4

x = 4/1.75

x = 2.285 hours

y = 0.5 * 2.285 + 1

y = 2.1425  feet
