Answer: 7 gallons; 14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of water in the first container be x.

Since one container holds 2 times as much as the other, the second container will be: = x × 2 = 2x

The total amount of water is 21 gallons. This means:

x + 2x = 21

3x = 21

x = 7 gallons

First container = 7 gallons

Second container= 2x = 2×7 = 14 gallons

A single tennis court is 75% the width of a doubles tennis court. The singles court is 27 feet wide. How wide is the doubles cou
grandymaker [24]
X = 75% * y

Where 'x' is the single tennis court width, and 'y' is the doubles tennis court width.

Plug in what we know:

27 = 75% * y

75% = 0.75

27 = 0.75 * y

27 = 0.75y

Divide 0.75 to both sides:

y = 36

So the doubles court is 36 feet wide.
