Answer:
<h2>infinitely many solutions</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 6 = 3x - 6 + 2x <em>combine like terms</em>
5x - 6 = (3x + 2x) - 6
5x - 6 = 5x - 6 <em>subtract 5x from both sides</em>
-6 = -6 TRUE
Therefore the equation has infinitely many solutions.
First we expand the brackets:
-2a + 8 + 6a = 36
4a + 8 = 36
We then need to get the a's onto one side and the numbers onto the other:
4a = 28
We can then divide to get an x by itself:
a = 28/4 = 7
First pool: 21 liters per min so to get 3100 gone do 3100 divided by 21 which equals 147
Second pool: 33 liters per min and you have 3472 divided 33 = 105
