A bottle filled with water weighs 9.6 kg. If the water by itself weighs 5 times as much as the bottle, what is the weight of the bottle? Algebra Quadratic Equations and Functions Linear, Exponential, and Quadratic Models 1 Answer Joey · Stefan V. Mar 5, 2018 #"1.6 kg"# Explanation: Let the weight of bottle be #x#. Therefore, the weight of the water #= 5x# Given: #x + 5x = 9.6# So #6x= 9.6 # #x = 9.6/6 = 1.6# Answer link Related questions What is the linear regression line?
