Answer:

There are 96 liters of oil in both containers originally

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to mathematics equation

- Let the first container had A liters of oil and the second container

 had B liters of oil

- The quantity of oil B in the second container is twice the quantity

  of oil in A in the first container

∴ B = 2A ⇒ (1)

- After using 13 liters from the quantity of oil A in the first container,

 the container had (A - 13) liters

- After using 7 liters from the quantity of oil B in the second container,

 the container had (B - 7) liters

-  After that the quantity of oil in the second container is 3 times

 more oil than the first one

∴ B - 7 = 3(A - 13) ⇒ simplify

∴ B - 7 = 3A - 39 ⇒ add 7 and subtract 3A from both sides

∴ B - 3A = -39 + 7

∴ B - 3A = -32 ⇒ (2)

- Substitute the value of B from (1) into (2)

∴ 2A - 3A = -32

∴ -A = -32 ⇒ × -1

∴ A = 32 liters

- Find the value of B by substitute value of A in (1)

∴ B = 2(32) = 64 liters

- Now find the total liters of oil in both containers

∴ A + B = 32 + 64 = 96 liters

* There are 96 liters of oil in both containers originally

If 3 = 1/2gt^2, make t the subject of the formula<br>​
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

t = √1.5/g

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2gt^2 = 3

Divide both sides by 1/2

gt^2 = 1.5

Divide both sides by g

t^2 = 1.5/g

Square root both sides

t = √1.5/g
