A bakery has two cake display refrigerators for cakes.

• Display refrigerator A has 50 cakes.
• Display refrigerator B has 20 cakes.
• From display refrigerator A, we move groups of 3 cakes to the display refrigerator B until both displays have the same number of cakes.

The equation shown below can be used to find the number of groups that the display refrigerator A moved to display refrigerator B so that both displays had the same number of cakes:

50 – 3x = 20 + 3x

How many groups did display refrigerator A move to display refrigerator B?
