Let be B = how much water is in container B;
A =  how much water is in container A;
B = 2A;
B - ( 1 / 6 )B = A + ( 1 / 6 )B + 1.8 ;
Then, 2A - ( 2A ) / 6 = A + ( 2A ) / 6 + 18 / 10 ;
2A - A / 3 = A + A / 3 + 9 / 5 ;
30A / 15 - 5A / 15 = 15A / 15 + 5A / 15 + 27 / 15 ;
30A - 5A = 15A + 5A + 27 ;
25A = 20A + 27 ;
5A = 27 ;
A = 27 / 5 ;
A = 5.4 liters;
B = 2 × 5.4 = 10.8 liters ;

X - 2y &lt; 2<br> graph the inequality
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

y > 1/2x - 1

First, draw the dashed line y = 1/2x - 1 (slope intercept ; y = mx + b).

Start at -1 on the y-axis, and continue going 2 units to the right, and 1 unit up for the right side of the graph.

Then starting at -1 on the y-axis, continue going 2 units to the left, and 1 unit down for the left side of the graph.

Explanation:

Convert standard form (Ax + By = C) by isolating y from the rest of the equation.

Ax + By = C → y = -Ax/B + C/B → y = mx + b.

Given a standard form equation in inequality form,

x - 2y < 2.

Set it to slope-intercept as an inequality to find the slope and y-intercept.

When negating (making opposite) a variable, you flip the inequality.

x - 2y < 2 → x - 2y - x < 2 - x → -2y < -x + 2 → 2y > x - 2 → <u>y > 1/2x - 1</u><u>.</u>

How are the real solutions of a quadratic equation related to the graph of the quadratic function?
Anika [276]
The solutions you get when you solve the formula are the corresponding y coordinates to your x value. So say a point on your graph is (2,3). The first number is x and the second is y. (x,y). The number you plug into your function is x,or in this case: 2. The solution to the equation when the x value is plugged in is y, or 3. Therefore, giving you a point on your graph.
