A pot contained twice as much water as a bottle. The total amount of water in both the pot and the bottle was 5 l. What was the amount of the water in the bottle?​

Jawaban:

5/3 liters of water

Penjelasan dengan langkah-langkah:

pot = 2 × bottle

pot + bottle = 5 liters

substitute pot with x and bottle with y.

x = 2y

x + y = 5

substitute x with 2y into the equation.

x + y = 5

2y + y = 5

3y = 5

y = 5/3 liters

the amount of water inside the bottle was 5/3 liters.

x = 2y

x = 2(5/3)

x = 10/3

the amount of water inside the pot was 10/3 liters.
