Question

An ice cream shop makes vanilla and chocolate ice cream. The vanilla ice cream machine has a 180-cup capacity, and it sells 20 cups per day. The chocolate ice cream machine has a 140-cup capacity, and it sells 16 cups per day.

Answer 1

The correct equation is:

180 - 20x = 140 - 16x

To solve for x, we can combine like terms and isolate the variable:

-20x + 16x = 140 - 180
-4x = -40

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4, we get:

x = 10

Therefore, the two machines will have the same amount of ice cream left after 10 days.

Answer 2

that wasnt a answer i gave you

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. Based on the response you provided, the correct equation would be:

180 + 16x = 140 + 20x

To solve for x, we can subtract 16x from both sides and subtract 140 from both sides:

180 - 140 = 20x - 16x
40 = 4x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we get:

x = 10

Therefore, the two machines will have the same amount of ice cream left after 10 days.
