another 1/2 quart was poured into the container. Write an expression in
terms of X for the number of quarts of liquid in the container at the end.
Then write another equivalent expres-sion. Explain.

Initial liquid volume is x.

3/4 of the liquid was removed:

  • [tex]x - \cfrac{3}{4} x[/tex]

Then 1/2 quarts added, the expression including the addition is:

  • [tex]x - \cfrac{3}{4} x + \cfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Simplify to get equivalent expression:

  • [tex]\cfrac{1}{4} x + \cfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
