Quadratic / Linear Equation: "In Grandpa Joes' garden is a 2000L large water tank..."
[FONT="]"In Grandpa Joes' garden there is a 2000L large water tank. He usually fills the tank using recycled water from the roof which flows into the tank at a constant speed. But if he uses the garden tap which rate of flow is 5L/minute faster, it would take 20 minutes less. What is the rate of flow of the water into the tank using the recycled water?"
I managed to work out the answer, however it was through guessing. What is the process in working this one out?[/FONT]
