Question
Two machines at a factory are filling cans of soup. One machine has filled 92 cans of soup. It fills cans at a rate of 16 cans per minute. The second machine has filled 104 cans of soup. It fills cans at a rate of 13 cans per minute. Write and solve an equation to show when the two machines will have filled the same number of cans of soup.(1 point)

92+16x=104+13x ; x=4
92 plus 16 x equals 104 plus 13 x, ; , x equals 4

104+16x=92+13x ; x=4
104 plus 16 x equals 92 plus 13 x, ; , x equals 4

92−16x=104−13x ; x=−4
92 minus 16 x equals 104 minus 13 x, ; , x equals negative 4

92+16x=104+13x ; x=6

1 answer

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.
