    Answer:

    25 minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let x represent total time when both containers to have the same amount of water.

    the equation to represent container A = 200 + 6x

    the equation to represent container B = 500 – 6x

    Because both containers would have the same amount of water,  the two equations would be equal to each other

    200 + 6x = 500 – 6x

    collect like terms

    12x = 300

    x = 300/12

    x = 25 minutes
