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.
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.

that wasnt a answer i gave you
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.
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.
