Answer:

20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be shown like so, 1.5+0.6x

Since the total charge was 13.5, you can write an equation

13.5=1.5+0.6x

Simplify using property of subtraction

13.5 - 1.5= 1.5 - 1.5 + 0.6x

12 = 0.6x

Simplify using property of division

12/0.6= 0.6x/0.6

x=20
