x=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
because 8-12 geta you -4
Answer:
140 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of water in Beaker X and y be the amount of water in Beaker Y.
<u>Then we get following equations:</u>
<u>First part</u>
- x - 50 = 3/7(y + 50)
- 7x -350 = 3y + 150
- 7x = 3y + 500
<u>Second part</u>
- x + 100 = 4(y - 100)
- x + 100 = 4y - 400
- x = 4y - 500
<u>Substitute x in first equation:</u>
- 7(4y - 500) = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3500 = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3y = 500 + 3500
- 25y = 4000
- y = 4000/25
- y = 160 ml
<u>Then finding x:</u>
- x = 4*160 - 500
- x = 640 - 500
- x = 140 ml
Initial amount of water in Beaker X is 140 ml, in Beaker Y is 160 ml
For multiple-choice questions, it is often faster to check the answers than to try to figure out what the answer should be.
Only selections (A) and (D) match the first entry in the table.
Of those, only selection (A) matches the second entry in the table.
The appropriate choice is ...
(A) y = x + 9
