The numbers aren't accurate, they dont add up
X=2.412 is the correct answer
Answer:
divide the least common denominator by the original denominator
I would say 10 and 1/3 of the 1 1/2 liter bottles
12 - 3x + 4 ( 10 - 2^3 )
12 - 3 ( 2/3 ) + 4 ( 10 - 2^3 )
12 - 2 + 4 ( 10 - 8 )
12 - 2 + 40 - 32
10 + 8
18
