Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of water in tank 1 = amount of water in tank 2
30t +25 = -20t + 1000
Add 20t to both sides
30t + 20t + 25 = -20t + 20t + 1000
50t + 25 = 1000
Subtract 25 from both sides
50t + 25 - 25 = 1000 - 25
50t = 975
Divide both sides by 50
t = 975/50 = 39/2
t = 19 minutes 30 seconds
After 19 1/2 minutes both tanks will have 610 liters of water
