B because you are looking for an equation in the problem so if it starts at 16 and you are adding 2 gallons per hour you get 16+2x. Then for the other tank you start with 20 gallons and you are loosing 3 gallons per hour so you get 20-3x. To solve the equation you make them = each other so then you have 16+2x=20-3x.
