1. A tank is 3/5 full of water. After 330 litres of water is drawn out, it becomes 2/7 full. Find the capacity of the tank in litres.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

1050

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = full capacity

[tex]\frac{3}{5} x=\frac{2}{7} x+330[/tex]

Move the variable to the left side by subtracting both sides by [tex]\frac{2}{7} x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{5} x-\frac{2}{7}x=\frac{2}{7} x+330 -\frac{2}{7}x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{5} x-\frac{2}{7} x=330[/tex]

Combine the like terms (don't forget about common denominator)

[tex]\frac{21}{35} x-\frac{10}{35} x=330[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{35} x=330[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{35}{11}[/tex] to isolate the x

[tex](\frac{35}{11})\frac{11}{35} x=330(\frac{35}{11})[/tex]

[tex]x = 1050[/tex]
