Two types of barrel units were in use in the 1920s in the United States. The apple barrel had a legally set volume of 7056 cubic

inches; the cranberry barrel, 5826 cubic inches. If a merchant sells 33 cranberry barrels of goods to a customer who thinks he is receiving apple barrels, what is the discrepancy in the shipment volume in liters (L)? Give your answer as a positive number.

Answer:

Discrepancy = 665,15 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Data: 1 Apple Barrel: 7056 cubic inches

         1 Cranberry Barrel: 5826 cubic inches

The merchant sells 33 cranberry barrels, so we need to find out the total volume of that. So we multiply our cranberry volume (data) 33 times:

33 x 5826 cubic inches = 192258 cubic inches

Now, the customer thinks that he is receiveing apple barrels. To calculate this volume, we need to multiply the apple volume (data) 33 times:

33 x 7056 cubic inches = 232848 cubic inches

(You can see that 33 apple barrels have more volume that 33 cranberry barrels, so the customer will receive less volume than he is expecting)

The problem is asking the discrepancy in the shipment in liters (L). First we calculate the discrepancy (difference) in cubic inches.

Discrepancy (cubic inches) = 232848 cubic inches - 192258 cubic inches = 40590 cubic inches

Finally we need to transform the units. As a general rule, we know that:

1 litre (L) = 61,0237 cubic inches. Using a simple rule of three we can solve it:

Discrepancy (L) = \frac{40590 cubic inches}{61,0237 cubic inches\\} x 1 L

Discrepancy (L) = 665,15 L

I need to know what x equals
taurus [48]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

4 + 5(x + 2) = 7x

4 + 5x + 10 = 7x

5x - 7x = - 4 - 10

- 2x = - 14

- x = - 14/2

- x = - 7

x = 7
