120x−7=150x−9 ; x=15
120 x minus 7 equals 150 x minus 9 ; x equals 15

120−7x=150−9x ; x=10
120 minus 7 x equals 150 minus 9 x ; x equals 10

120+7x=150+9x ; x=−15
120 plus 7 x equals 150 plus 9 x ; x equals negative 15

120−7x=150−9x ; x=15

Answer 1

The correct equation is 120 - 7x = 150 - 9x, and when solved, x = 15. This means that the two popcorn machines will have the same amount of popcorn left after 15 hours.
