1. Two pumps are filling large vats of liquid. One vat is empty, and the pump is filling it at a rate of 6 gallons per minute. The other is already filled with 10 gallons, and it is continuing to fill at a rate of 4 gallons per minute. Write an equation to show when the two vats will have an equal amount of liquid. Use x as your variable. (1 point)

1. 6x = 10 + 4x

This equation represents the amount of liquid in each vat, where x is the number of minutes that have passed. The left side of the equation represents the amount of liquid filling the first vat at a rate of 6 gallons per minute, and the right side represents the amount of liquid already in the second vat (10 gallons) plus the liquid filling it at a rate of 4 gallons per minute. When the two vats have an equal amount of liquid, the equation will be true.
