Answer:
These two warehouses will contain the same number of boxes in 51 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the number of boxes in Warehouse "A" currently totaling 476 is increasing at a rate of 4 boxes per day, while the number of boxes in Warehouse "B" currently totaling 986 is decreasing at a rate of 6 boxes per day, To determine in how many days these two warehouses contain the same number of boxes, the following calculation must be performed:
Warehouse A = 476 + 4X
Warehouse B = 986 - 6X
476 + 4 x 50 = 476 + 200 = 676
986 - 6 x 50 = 986 - 300 = 686
476 + 4 x 51 = 476 + 204 = 680
986 - 6 x 51 = 986 - 306 = 680
Therefore, these two warehouses will contain the same number of boxes in 51 days.
