Let's assume that x represents the number of days it will take for the two machines to have the same amount of ice cream left.
For the vanilla ice cream machine:
The capacity is 180 cups, and it sells 20 cups per day. Hence, the amount of ice cream left after x days is given by 180 - 20x.
For the chocolate ice cream machine:
The capacity is 140 cups, and it sells 16 cups per day. Therefore, the amount of ice cream left after x days is 140 - 16x.
To find when the two machines will have the same amount of ice cream left, we can set the two equations equal to each other:
180 - 20x = 140 - 16x
Simplifying the equation:
180 - 140 = -16x + 20x
40 = 4x
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 10
Therefore, it will take 10 days for the two machines to have the same amount of ice cream left.
An ice cream shop makes vanilla and chocolate ice cream the vanilla ice cream machine has a 180-cup capacity and sells 20 cups per day the chocolate ice cream machine has a 140-cup capacity and sells 16 cups per day right and solve an equation to solve when the two machines will have the same amount of ice cream left
