The equation to show when the two machines will have filled the same number of cans of soup can be written as:
12x + 210 = 15x + 180
Therefore, the answer is option A.
Two machines at a factory are filling cans of soup. One machine has already filled 180 cans of soup, and fills cans at a rate of 15 per minute. The second machine has already filled 210 cans of soup, and fills cans at a rate of 12 per minute. Write an equation to show when the two machines will have filled the same number of cans of soup. Use x as your variable.
A. 12x + 210 = 15x + 180
B. 12x + 180 = 15x + 210
C. 12x - 210 = 15x - 180
D. 210 - 12x = 180 - 15x
