the two tanks wi equal 64

x=64

Answer:

w = 64 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information, we have two equations that we will need to set equal to each other to find the number of weeks, w,  it takes for both tanks to hold the same amount:  

[tex]-3w+256=-5w+384\\(-3w+256=-5w+384)-256\\(-3w=-5w+128)+5w\\(2w=128) /2\\w=64[/tex]
