9. Water is added to two containers for 16 minutes. The equations below model the ounces of
water, y, in each container after x minutes. At the time after the start when the containers hold
the same amount of water, how much water do they hold?
Container A: y = 16x+104
Container B: y=-2x? +40x+160
36Q ounces
328 ounces
0232 ounces
O 136 ounces

The two containers hold 328 ounces at the they hold same amount of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations below model the ounces of  water, y, in each container after x minutes.

At the time after the start when the containers hold  the same amount of water, the two equations must be equal.

⇒

The first step is to divide everything by 2 to make it simplified.

⇒

Now put everything on the left .

Add the like terms together to further reduce the equation

Factorizing the equation to find the roots of the equation.

Here, b = -12 and c = -28

where,

Take x = 14  and substitute in any of the given two equations,

⇒

⇒

⇒ 328 ounces

∴ The two containers hold 328 ounces at the they hold same amount of water.
