love the duplication. :-(
A container has 300 liters of water, and a second container has 700 liters of water. The first container begins filling up at a rate of 5 liters per minute at the same time the second starts draining at a rate of 6 liters per minute. Which equation can be used to find the number of minutes, x, that elapse before the two containers have the same amount of water?A container has 300 liters of water, and a second container has 700 liters of water.
