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.

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 +
