A drum of water is 3/7 full. When 28 ltrs are drawn from it. It is just 5/14 full.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the total capacity of the drum in ltrs.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = total capacity of the drum
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F14\"x = \"3%2F7\"x - 28
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 14 to clear the denominators, resulting in:
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 2(3x) - 14(28)
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 6x - 392
\n" ); document.write( "392 = 6x - 5x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 392
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
