If n is used as the initial amount of liquid in both A and B:

4(n-120) = n+120
4n-480 = n+120
3n = 600
n = 200

Each container originally held 200ml. Container A now has 80ml and Container B has 320ml

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose A and B , both has initial volume, say x

120 ML is poured from B to A, then new volumes of A and B will be:

new volume of A = (x-120)

new volume of B = (x+120)

Volume of B is now four times volume of A, then

(x+120) = 4 (x-120)

(x+120) = 4x-480

3x = 600

x = 200

So, the initial volume of A and B containers is 200

So, at the end, volume of container A = 200-120= 80

Hence the answer is 80   :    Answer

Hope it will help :)

Olivia decides to hire an electrician. The electrician charges $35 to come out to Olivia's
atroni [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost

C (x) = 35+ 60x

Where,

Fixed cost= $35

Variable cost = 60x

x= number of hours of work

Total cost is the addition of fixed and variable cost

C (x) = 35+ 60x

C(5)= 35 + 60(5)

= 35 + 300

=335

C(5) = 335

C(5) = 335 is Olivia's total cost of hiring the electrician

x=5 is the electrician's number of hours of work

35= fixed cost of hiring the electrician

60(5) = 300 is the variable cost of hiring the electrician for 5 hours

Explain how slope is used to determine if a triangle is a right triangle.
Bond [772]

A right triangle contains a right angle, so it must have two sides that are perpendicular. If the slopes of two sides can be shown to be negative reciprocals of each other, then it can be concluded that a right angle is formed. If a triangle contains a right angle, then it is a right triangle.
