In a kitchen there are four containers that can hold different quantities of water, as shown in the figure below. How many liters of water can the four containers hold in all? 3 x + 3 4x + 3 x4 + 3
take the sum of each of the quantities of water that can be held.
eh, theres an attachment. ^
If u have two 1 litre coke bottles with you, then how many litres of coke do u have?
its only One 1 liter coke tho...
just add up all the different container quantities. x+(x+.5)+(x+1) + ?
1.5?
what do i do with the x's?
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.
4.5?
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
