Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Water in a 10 gallon tank is draining at a rate of 2 gallons per hour.

= 10 - 2x

Water in a separate tank is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per hour.

= 10 + 4x

Equating both Equations together

10 - 2x = 10 + 4x

10 - 10 = 4x - 2x

How long until the tanks have the same amount of water?

Let the time = x
