A water tank holds 1,216 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 5 gallons per week.

A second water tank holds 1,520 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 9 gallons per week.

After how many weeks will the amount of water in the two tanks be the same?

Answer:

im pretty sure it'd be 76 weeks!

Step-by-step explanation:

one water tank holds 1216 and loses 5 gallons/week

another water tank holds 1520 gallons and loses 9 gallons/week

youd make an equation:

1216-5x=1520-9x

(each side being the amount of water the tank can hold minus the amount it loses per week [x])

heres how you execute the equation:

1216-5x=1520-9x

-5x=1520-1216-9x

-5x=304-9x

-5x+9x=304

4x=304

x=304/4

76

after you do the equation, you get x=76, meaning 76 weeks! :-)
