Movie Theatre A has a popcorn machine with a 100-gallon capacity, and sells 3 gallons of popcorn per hour.

Responses

100−3x=150−5x
100 minus 3 x equals 150 minus 5 x

150+3x=100+5x
150 plus 3 x equals 100 plus 5 x

3x−100=5x−150
3 x minus 100 equals 5 x minus 150

100+3x=150+5x
100 plus 3 x equals 150 plus 5 x
