180 - 20x = 140 - 16x
Simplify the equation:
4x = 40
Solve for x:
x = 10
Therefore, the two machines will have the same amount of ice cream left after 10 days.
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. Write and solve an equation to show when the two machines will have the same amount of ice cream left.(1 point) Responses 180−20x=140−16x ; x=20 180 minus 20 x equals 140 minus 16 x ; x equals 20 180−20x=140−16x ; x=10 180 minus 20 x equals 140 minus 16 x ; x equals 10 140+16x=180+20x ; x=10 140 plus 16 x equals 180 plus 20 x ; x equals 10 180+16x=140+20x ; x=−10
