Question

Need a little help :,)

Answer 1

Answer:

A  a.  25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time in minutes.

Aquarium I contains y water at time x.

y = 4.6 + 1.2x

Aquarium II contains y water at time x,

y = 54.6 - 0.8x

We want the amounts of water to be equal, so we set the right parts of the equations equal and solve for x, the time in minutes.

4.6 + 1.2x = 54.6 - 0.8x

Subtract 4.6 from both sides.

Add 0.8x to both sides.

2x = 50

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 25
