Let's set up the equation.
The first vat is being filled at a rate of 6 gallons per minute, so the amount of liquid in the first vat can be represented by 6x (since x represents the number of minutes).
The second vat already has 10 gallons and is being filled at a rate of 4 gallons per minute, so the amount of liquid in the second vat can be represented by 10 + 4x.
To find when the two vats will have an equal amount of liquid, we can set up the equation:
6x = 10 + 4x
Simplifying the equation, we get:
2x = 10
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
x = 5
Therefore, the two vats will have an equal amount of liquid after 5 minutes.

Two pumps are filling large vats of liquid. One vat is empty, and the pump is filling it at a rate of 6 gallons per minute, other is already filled with 10 gallons, and it is continuing to fill at a rate of 4 gallons per minute. Write an equation to when the two vats will have an equal amount of liquid. Use x as your variable. (1 point)
