OpenStudy (anonymous):

just add up all the different container quantities. x+(x+.5)+(x+1) + ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do with the x's?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, you add (x+1.5) the x's are their own variable so you have 1x +1x which is 2x. that's how you handle the x's.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have x+(x+.5)+(x+1) + (x+1.5) so (x+x+x+x) + (.5+1+1.5) so you have 4 x's and you can do the sum on the right side of the +

Answer is 4x+3.. just add them up like @tomo has done
