Answer: 5t + 17 > 52

Step-by-step explanation:

5t + 17 > 52 where t is the number of minutes so for every minute it goes up by 5 and she already had 17 liters so that is constant and never changes.

It has to be greater than 52 because it has to be more than 52.

5t + 17>52

-17 - 17

5t >35

t >7
