There are twice as many liters of water in one container as in another. If 8 liters of water are removed from each of the two co

<span> Suppose the # of litres in the small container is 'x'.
This would make '2x' litres of water in the larger container.
After taking 8 litres from both containers, the following equation can be written:

(2x-8) = 3 (x-8)

Open the brackets:

2x-8 = 3x-24

Collect like terms:

x = 16

There were 16 litres in the smaller container</span>

Answer:

Step 3, because the solution should also include all the values for x between the two given values

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we have

y_1=\left|x-4\right|

y2=1

step 2

The graph in the given problem

step 3

Identify the solution when y1\leq y2

so

\left|x-4\right|\le1

using a graphing tool

The solution is the interval  -----> [3,5]

see the attached figure

All real numbers greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 5

therefore

The first step in which the student made an error is step 3

which of the following answer choices describes all the transformation found in the cubic function f(x)=-(x+2)3-5
Alona [7]
The cubic function is f(x) = x^3

You need to perform three transformations to the cubic function to obtain
f(x) = - (x + 2)^3 - 5.

Those transfformations are:

1) Shift f(x) = x^3,  2 units leftward to obtain f(x) = (x + 2)^3

2) reflect f(x) = (x + 2)^3 across the x-axis to obtain f(x) = - (x + 2)^3

3) shift f(x) = - ( x + 2) ^3, 5 units downward to obtain f(x) = - (x + 2)^3 - 5
