Question

A diner makes vanilla milkshakes and chocolate milkshakes. The vanilla milkshake machine has a 300-cup capacity, and sells 15 cups per day. The chocolate milkshake machine has a 280-cup capacity, and sells 20 cups per day. Write an equation to show when the two machines will have the same amount of milkshake left. Use x as your variable.(1 point) help

Answer 1

Let's assume the number of days that have passed is represented by variable x.

For the vanilla milkshake machine, the number of cups left after x days can be represented by the equation: 300 - 15x

For the chocolate milkshake machine, the number of cups left after x days can be represented by the equation: 280 - 20x

To find when the two machines will have the same amount of milkshake left, we need to set the two equations equal to each other:

300 - 15x = 280 - 20x

Now, you can solve this equation for x to find when the two machines will have the same amount of milkshake left.

Answer 2

answer completly

Answer 3

To solve the equation 300 - 15x = 280 - 20x, we can rearrange the equation to isolate the variable x:

300 - 280 = 20x - 15x

20x - 15x = 300 - 280

5x = 20

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

5x/5 = 20/5

x = 4

Therefore, the two machines will have the same amount of milkshake left after 4 days.

Answer 4

wrong

Answer 5

I apologize for the mistake. Let me correct it.

To solve the equation 300 - 15x = 280 - 20x, we can rearrange the equation to isolate the variable x:

300 - 280 = -20x + 15x

20 = 5x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

20/5 = 5x/5

4 = x

Therefore, the two machines will have the same amount of milkshake left after 4 days.

Answer 6

the answer= 300-15x=280-20x
