Answer:

The volume each of the four barrels of the same size will be at least 47.5 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of each of the four barrels is v liters.

Now, the amount of water that can be held in the fifth barrel is 10 liters. The total capacity of holding water for the 5 barrels combines is at least 200 liters.

So, from the above-given information, we can write the inequality to determine the volume of each of the four barrels will be  

10 + 4v ≥ 200

Solving this we get,

4v ≥ 190

⇒ v ≥ 47.5

Therefore, the volume each of the four barrels of the same size will be at least 47.5 liters. (Answer)

Given the equation 7(x + 2) = 2x − 1, solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process. Jeff solved a similar
Galina-37 [17]
You have to distribute the 7 to x and 2 so :
7x+14=2x-1
Add one to both sides (inverse operations)
7x+14=2x-1
+1 +1
7x+15=2x
Cross Cancel by subtracting 7x from both sides
7x+15=2x
-7x -7x
15=-5x
Divide by -5
15/-5= -5/-5
X= -3
