Answer: x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.2(x - 20) = 44 - x
-0.2x + 4 = 44 - x (distribute the -0.2)
+ x + x
-----------------------------------------------------
0.8x + 4 = 44
- 4 - 4
-------------------------------------------------------
0.8x = 40 (divide by 0.8)
x = 50
First add them all up.
0+1/4+1/2+3/4+1=2.5
Because there are 5 beakers you divide 2.5 or 2 1/2 by 5 and you get .5 or 1/2
there would be 1/2 water in each beaker.
