Two pools are being drained. To start, the first pool had 3650 liters of water and the second pool had 4166 liters of water. Water is being drained from the first pool at a rate of 27 liters per minute. Water is being drained from the second pool at a rate of 39
liters per minute.
Let x be the number of minutes water has been drained.
(a) For each pool, write an expression for the amount of water in
the pool after x minutes.

(b) Write an equation to show when the two pools would have
the same amount of water.

answer:

answer: no. explanation: she only has enough for 16 people to have a full serving. however, she can give a 17th person a partial serving.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   (7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)

discussion:

in general, the factorization of a^3 + b^3 is

a^3 + b^ 3 = (a + b) ( a^2 - ab + b^2)

in our case note that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 so the equation becomes:

343x^3 + 216y^3 = (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

if you think of a (above) as 7x and b as 6y the factorization becomes

343x^3 + 216y^3 =

((7x + 6y) (   (7x)^2 - 7x*6y + (6y)^2)   =

(7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)
