Sagot :

Answer:

25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent total time when both containers to have the same amount of water.

the equation to represent container A = 200 + 6x

the equation to represent container B = 500 - 6x

Because both containers would have the same amount of water,  the two equations would be equal to each other

200 + 6x = 500 - 6x

collect like terms

12x = 300

x = 300/12

x = 25 minutes
