A graph shows litres pumped (up) against minutes (across) for two pumps. Each pump's graph is a straight line starting at (0,0)(0, 0). Pump A's line passes through (3,12)(3, 12) and Pump B's line passes through (5,15)(5, 15). Both pumps start at the same moment. After how many minutes has Pump A pumped 2020 litres more than Pump B?
