A pool can hold 2050 gallons of water, and it is being filled at a rate of 50 gallons per hour. The pool currently has 300 gallons in it.

a) Write a linear equation which represents number of gallons in the pool.

b) How long will it take to finish filling the pool?

g = 300 + 50 t

2050 = 300 + 50 t
50 t = 1750
t = 175/5 = 35 hours
