92 + 16x = 104 + 13x
Rearranging the equation to solve for x:
16x - 13x = 104 - 92
3x = 12
x = 4
Therefore, the two machines will have filled the same number of cans of soup after 4 minutes.
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 = 6
104 + 16x = 92 + 13x: x = 4
92 + 16x = 104 + 13x: x = 4
92 - 16x = 104 - 13x: x=-4
