Question
Miguel's irrigation tank for his large garden had 15.5 gallons of water before he began to fill it at a
rate of 1.4 gallons per minute.
Alejandro checked his irrigation tank and found it contained 45.5 gallons, before he began draining
his tank at a rate of 0.6 gallons per minute.
After how many minutes will the two irrigation water tanks have the same amount of water?

Only at the end do you tell us that there are two tanks.
first tank :
amount = 15.5 + 1.4t , where t is in minutes
2nd tank:
amount = 45.5 - .6t
we want 1st tank = 2nd tank
15.5 + 1.4t = 45.5 - .6t
.8t = 30
t = 30/.8 = 37.5
state the conclusion
