Question

At first, you have 15 bottles of coke, and you drink 2 bottles each day. After a certain number of days, there are 3 bottles left. Write and solve an equation for, d, when there are 3 bottles left?

Answer 1

Answer:

After 6 days, 3 bottles will be left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of bottles = 15

Number of bottles drank each day = 2

Let,

d be the number of days

y be the number of bottles left

y = 15 - 2d

Now,

We have to find the number of days when 3 bottles will be left.

Putting y=3

3 = 15 - 2d

2d = 15 - 3

2d = 12

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2d}{2}=\frac{12}{2}\\d=6$

Hence,

After 6 days, 3 bottles will be left.
