Sierra has a bucket that originally contained 260 fl oz of water and is being filled at a rate of 5 fl oz per minute. Brian has a bucket that originally contained 650 fl oz of water and is being drained at a rate of 8 fl oz per minute. What is x, the number of minutes that need to pass in order for the two buckets to contain the same amount of water?

5x + 260 = -8x + 650
