In the final round of the Western Baking Challenge, Max and Colette must each create a display of iced cookies. Colette's cookies cooled off first, and she begins icing them at a rate of 3 cookies per minute. After Collette has iced 12 cookies, Max starts icing his cookies at a rate of 5 cookies per minute. Soon, he will catch up to Colette and the two will have iced the same number of cookies.
Which equation can you use to find [tex]$m$[/tex], the number of minutes it will take Max to catch up to Colette?
[tex]$3 m+12=5 m$[/tex]
[tex]$5 m+3=12 m$[/tex]
How long will it take Max to catch up to Colette?
Simplify any fractions.

False. Energy is never destroyed, it can only be transformed. Energy is never lost as well.
False ;
Energy is never destroyed during transformations; it can only change from one form to another. This is based on the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy is conserved in a closed system. Thus, energy may appear to be lost when it is actually transformed into another form, like heat.
