180−20x=140−16x ; x=10
180 minus 20 x equals 140 minus 16 x ; x equals 10

180+16x=140+20x ; x=−10
180 plus 16 x equals 140 plus 20 x ; x equals negative 10

180−20x=140−16x ; x=20
180 minus 20 x equals 140 minus 16 x ; x equals 20

140+16x=180+20x ; x=10

Answer 1

180 - 20x = 140 - 16x ; x = 5

The two machines will have the same amount of ice cream left after 5 days.

Answer 2

thats not an answer choice

Answer 3

Sorry about that. In that case, the correct equation should be:

180 - 20x = 140 - 16x

Now solve for x:

180 - 20x = 140 - 16x
180 + 16x = 140
16x = 40
x = 40/16
x = 2.5

Therefore, the two machines will have the same amount of ice cream left after 2.5 days.

Answer 4

the answer choices are

180−20x=140−16x ; x=10
180 minus 20 x equals 140 minus 16 x ; x equals 10

180+16x=140+20x ; x=−10
180 plus 16 x equals 140 plus 20 x ; x equals negative 10

180−20x=140−16x ; x=20
180 minus 20 x equals 140 minus 16 x ; x equals 20

140+16x=180+20x ; x=10

Answer 5

The correct equation is:

180 - 20x = 140 - 16x ; x = 10

Therefore, the two machines will have the same amount of ice cream left after 10 days.
