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

step-by-step explanation:

we can use this expression to calculate the energy gain as a particle moves with a field or the energy loss as it moves against it. (note that it is also used to define the electron-volt, a unit of energy equal to that gained by an electron as it falls through a pd of 1 v, i.e. w = 1 ev = 1.6 10-19 c 1 v = 1.6 10-19j).in fact this expression is really nothing more than the statement that potential is the potential energy per unit charge. in this case, v= w/qis simply stating that the change in potential energy(or work done) per unit charge is equal to the change in potential (or potential difference), v.student questions: uniform electric fields2electron beamcathode+5 kvanode0 v
