Algebra.Com's Answer #329252 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! equation is: \n" ); document.write( "84,000 = 2*x + 400 \n" ); document.write( "we're dealing in millions of liters. \n" ); document.write( "subtract 400 from both sides of this equation to get: \n" ); document.write( "83,600 = 2*x \n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation to get: \n" ); document.write( "41,800 = x \n" ); document.write( "41,800 million liters of water were saved in 2006. \n" ); document.write( "this year, you saved 400 million liters more than 2 times that amount. \n" ); document.write( "that means that this year you saved 2 * (41,800) + 400 = 83,600 + 400 = 84,000 million liters of water.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
