(5 points) Part B: How many liters of apple juice are present in the jar? Show your work.

OpenStudy (faby0411):

So far all I got is that there is 3 Liters of juice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 liters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i don't know how to do it in a equation

OpenStudy (faby0411):

That's what I need help on. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so we have to figure out what i did to find four liters...

OpenStudy (faby0411):

All I know is that there is a total of 4 liters. 1 Liter of water and 3 Liters of apple juice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to do it without putting the answer in

OpenStudy (faby0411):

Does this equation work... .75L + 1 = 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no.

OpenStudy (faby0411):

oh ok. :( well I got nothing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+.75x=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x-.75x=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=total amount

OpenStudy (faby0411):

ok. but which one is the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x-.75=1

OpenStudy (faby0411):

so to solve that we need to get x by itself, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's x-.75x=1

OpenStudy (faby0411):

ok. so add x to both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you subtract the .75 from x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll draw it hold on

OpenStudy (faby0411):

k
