In a kitchen there are three containers that can hold different quantities of water, as shown in the figure below:

three containers of the same shape but different sizes are shown, starting with the shortest and ending with the longest. the following quantities are written below the containers. x minus 10 liters below the first, x minus 5 liters below the second, and x liters below the third.

how many liters of water can the three containers hold in all?

x − 15
3x − 15
x3 + 50
3x3 − 15

3x - 15

Simply add the different container sizes together. The first container holds x - 10 liters, the second holds x - 5 liters, and the third holds x liters.

(x - 10) + (x - 5) + x

Because of the associative property of Addition, we can remove the parentheses.

x - 10 + x - 5 + x

Because of the communicative property of addition, we can reorder the terms so that the like terms are next to each other.

x + x + x - 10 - 5

Now, combine the x’s.

3x - 10 - 5

Finally, subtract -10 minus - 5.

3x - 15

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.
