After 10 minutes both the containers will hold 580 ounces.

Equations modelling the ounces of water are:

Container A: y = 46x+120

Container B: y=-20x+60x+180

y represents ounces while x represents minutes.

What is an equation?

An equation is a statement that equates to two expressions.

At the time when the containers hold the same amount of water.

[tex]46x+120 = -20x+60x+180[/tex]

[tex]6x=60\\x=10[/tex]

So, at x=10 minutes both the containers will hold the same amount of water.

[tex]y=46x+120[/tex]

[tex]y=46*10+120\\y=580[/tex]

So, after 10 minutes both the containers will hold 580 ounces.

Therefore, after 10 minutes both the containers will hold 580 ounces.
