Answer:

After 6 minutes, the total amount of water in both dunk tanks will be the same.

The total amount of water at that minute will be  

65 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's dunk tank is represented by the equation: W = 2^x + 1

Mark's dunk tank is represented by the equation: W = 10x +5

The plot of both equation are shown in the picture attached. The intersection of both equations is the solution to the problem.
