Given :  Nancy left a bin outside in her garden to collect rainwater.

She notices that 1 over 2 gallon of water fills 2 over 3 of the bin.

To Find : Write and solve an expression to find the amount of water that will fill the entire bin.

Solution:

Let say amount of  Water to  fill the bin  = W gallon

  Water required to fill the  2/3 bin  = 2W/3

  Water required to fill the  2/3 bin   = 1/2  gallon

Equate both

2W/3  = 1/2

is the  expression to find the amount of water that will fill the entire bin.

2W/3  = 1/2

=> 2W = 3/2

=>  W = 3/4

3/4  gallon of water fills the bin

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
