The correct equation is 92 + 16x = 104 + 13x, where x represents the number of minutes.
To solve for x, we can simplify the equation by subtracting 92 from both sides:
16x = 12 + 13x
Then, we can subtract 13x from both sides:
3x = 12
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 3:
x = 4
Therefore, the two machines will have filled the same number of cans of soup after 4 minutes.
The correct response is: 92 plus 16 x equals 104 plus 13 x, ; , x equals 4.
