Answer:
140 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of water in Beaker X and y be the amount of water in Beaker Y.
<u>Then we get following equations:</u>
<u>First part</u>
- x - 50 = 3/7(y + 50)
- 7x -350 = 3y + 150
- 7x = 3y + 500
<u>Second part</u>
- x + 100 = 4(y - 100)
- x + 100 = 4y - 400
- x = 4y - 500
<u>Substitute x in first equation:</u>
- 7(4y - 500) = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3500 = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3y = 500 + 3500
- 25y = 4000
- y = 4000/25
- y = 160 ml
<u>Then finding x:</u>
- x = 4*160 - 500
- x = 640 - 500
- x = 140 ml
Initial amount of water in Beaker X is 140 ml, in Beaker Y is 160 ml
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Open
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
An open equation is an equation that has variables and CAN be solved
<u>Example</u>: 2x = 4 ......> can be solved giving ......> x = 2
A false equation is one where both sides can NEVER be equal
<u>Example:</u> 15 = 2(3) + 1 ..........> 15 can never be equal to 7
A true equation is one having no variables and both sides are ALWAYS equal
<u>Example:</u> 2(3) + 1 = 2(2) + 3 ........> 7 will always be equal to 7
Now, the given equation is:
4y + 8 = 6y + 3
Let's try to solve is:
4y + 8 = 6y + 3
6y - 4y = 8 - 3
2y = 5
y = 2.5
Therefore, the given equation contains a variable and can be solved which means that it is an open equation

Answer:
1. $0.80 or 80 cents
2. 1.25 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation p=0.8L represents the price p (in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meters long.
1. To find how much the nylon costs per meter, take L = 1 (this means you are calculating the price of a piece of nylon rope that is 1 meter long):
2. To find how long a piece of nylon rope that costs $1.00 is, substitute into the equation p = 1:
