92 + 16x = 104 + 13x
16x - 13x = 104 - 92
3x = 12
x = 4
Therefore, the two machines will have filled the same number of cans of soup in 4 minutes.
Two machines at a factory are filling cans of soup. One machine has filled 92 cans of soup. It fills cans at a rate of 16 cans per minute. The second machine has filled 104 cans of soup. It fills cans at a rate of 13 cans per minute. Write and solve an equation to show when the two machines will have filled the same number of cans of soup.
ANSWERS92+16x=104+13x ; x=4 92 plus 16 x equals 104 plus 13 x ; x equals 4 104+16x=92+13x ; x=4 104 plus 16 x equals 92 plus 13 x ; x equals 4 92−16x=104−13x ; x=−4 92 minus 16 x equals 104 minus 13 x ; x equals negative 4 92+16x=104+13x ; x=6
