Reservoir + water

The reservoir filled with water weighs 12 kg, and after pouring off, three-quarters of the water weighs 3 kg. Calculate the weight and volume of the reservoir.

Correct answer:

m =  0 kg
V =  12 l

Step-by-step explanation:

ρ=1 kg/l mH2O=VH2O

m+V = 12
12-3/4·V = 3

V+m = 12
3V = 36

Pivot: Row 1 ↔ Row 2
3V = 36
V+m = 12

Row 2 - 1/3 · Row 1 → Row 2
3V = 36
m = 0


m = 0/1 = 0
V = 36/3 = 12

V = 12
m = 0
