Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. They are adding water at a rate of 35 liters per minute. There are 700 liters in the pond to start. Let w represent the total amount of water in the pond ( in liters ) and let t represent the total number of minutes that water had been added. Write an equation relating to W to T. Then use this equation to find the total amount of water after 13 minutes.

A water tank drains at a constant rate. It contains 930 litres of water 3.5 minutes after it started to drain. It takes 50 minutes for the tank to empty. Let W be the amount of water in the tank (in litres) t minutes after it started to drain. What is the amount of water in the tank when it starts to drain?

A large koi pond is filled from a garden hose at the rate of $10 \mathrm{gal} / \mathrm{min}$. Initially, the pond contains 300 gal of water. a. Find a linear function $V$ that models the volume of water in the pond at any time $t$ b. If the pond has a capacity of 1300 gal, how long does it take to completely fill the pond?
