Question

there were 62 liters of water in container a and 10 liters of water in container b after an equal amount of water was poured into each of the containers the amount of water in container a became 3 times as much as the amount of water in container b how much water was poured into each of the 2 containers

Answer 1

• 16 liters

Explanation:

Added water amount is x.

Container a:

• 62 l + x

Container b:

• 10 l + x

We get equation, and solve for x:

• 62 + x = 3(10 + x)
• 62 + x = 30 + 3x
• 3x - x = 62 - 30
• 2x = 32
• x = 16
