A family swimming pool holds 61 m3 of water. It loses 0.27m3 of water to evaporation each day. This situation can be represented by the equation y + 0.27x = 61. Find the ordered pair solution to the equation when x = 100 and complete the explanation of its real-world meaning.

The answer to your question is: when x = 100 days, y = 34 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volumen = 61 m³

Loses 0.27 m³ each day

Equation y + 0.27x = 61

when x = 100, y = ?

Process, just substitute x in the equation and solve it for y

y + 0.27 (100) = 61

y + 27 = 61

y = 61 - 27

y = 34 m³

It means that after ten days, the swimming pool will only have 34 m³, because 27 m³ will have evaporated.
