Answer:

2.5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

We use a rule of three to solve this problem, the information we have is represented as follows:

Liters       People

   1       ⇒    20

   x       ⇒    50

x represents the unknown quantity, the liters that correspond to 50 people.

The way x is found is as follows: We multiply the cross quantities and divide by the remaining quantity.

x=\frac{50*1}{20}\\ x=2.5

Thus, for 50 people is provided 2.5 liters of water

Y= 1/2x+ 2 to make the x the subject.
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

x=2y-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y=\frac{1}{2} x+2

"To make x the subject" means to have the equation with all the terms in x on one side. As of now, y is the subject of the equation.

You start by subtracting 2 from both sides, you should get the following.

y-2=\frac{1}{2} x

Then you multiply by 2 from both sides, you should end up with the following.

2(y-2)=x

Therefore, you get the following.

x=2(y-2)

Finally, you distribute and get the answer.

x=2y-4
