Further Explanation  

One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one.  

Can be stated in the form:  

\(\large{\boxed{\bold{ax=b}}\)

or  

ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable  

Whereas the two-variable linear equation is a linear equation that has 2 variables and the exponent is one  

Can be stated in the form:  

\(\large{\boxed{\bold{ax+bx=c}}}\)

x, y = variable  

Let x = cups of concentrate


w = cups of water


  • Jackie used 5 times as much water as concentrate.


If we translate this sentence into equation:


w = 5x .. equation 1


  • There were 32 more cups of water than concentrate.


If we translate this sentence into equation:


w = 32+x .. equation 2


We can make a comparison from equation 1 and 2

\(\displaystyle \frac{water}{concentrate} =5\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{32+x}{x} =5\)

\(\displaystyle 32+x=5x\)

\(\displaystyle 32=4x\)\(\large{\boxed{x=8\:cups}}\)


so x = concentrate = 8 cups

then water :

\(\displaystyle water={5\times8}\)

water = 40 cups


Total juice she can make :


= 40 + 8 cups


=  48 cups
