Answer:
It will take 3.214 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>It is given that, the conveyor belt transports 300 cans in 5 mins and the smaller belt transports 300 cans in 9 minutes.</em>
Thus , the speed of conveyor belt is,
= 
and of smaller belt is,
= 
Thus, when both are used together,
<em>conveyor belt will transport (60)(t) cans and smaller belt will transport
(t) cans per minute.</em>
Thus the equation becomes,

t = 
Prime Factors of 60: 2,3, and 5
Prime Factors of 140: 2,5 and 7
All mental math no work needed.
To find the X value of the solution, you would set the two equations equal to each other bu substitution:
if <span>y = -2x + 5 and y = 3x - 2,
</span>-2x + 5 must be equal to 3x - 2
solve for x... you should get 7/5
then, plug that into one of the original equations as X and you would get the Y value, 11/5
This point, (7/5,11/5) is where the two lines cross
