Container A and container B have leaks. Container A has 800 ml of water, and is leaking 6 ml per minute. Container B has 1000 ml, and is leaking 10 ml per minute. How many minutes, m, will it take for the two containers to have the same amount of water?

• 800m - 6 = 1000m - 10

• 800 + 6m = 1000m +10

• 800 - 6m =1000 - 10m

• 800m + 6 =1000 + 10m
