The correct equation to show when the two popcorn machines will have the same amount of popcorn left is:
100 + 3x = 150 + 5x
where x is the number of hours that have passed.
Movie Theatre A has a popcorn machine with a 100-gallon capacity, and sells 3 gallons of popcorn per hour. Movie Theatre B has a popcorn machine with a 150-gallon capacity, and sells 5 gallons of popcorn per hour. Write an equation to show when the two popcorn machines will have the same amount of popcorn left. Use x as your variable.(1 point)

100+3x=150+5x
100 plus 3 x equals 150 plus 5 x
100−3x=150−5x
100 minus 3 x equals 150 minus 5 x
3x−100=5x−150
3 x minus 100 equals 5 x minus 150
150+3x=100+5x
