The number of liters of water in container A holds that container B is 9484 liters.
It is defined as the operation in which we do the addition of numbers, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It has a basic four operators that is +, -, ×, and ÷.
It is given that:
Container B holds 2,391 liters of water. Together, Container A and Container B hold 11,875 liters of water.
Let x be the number of liters of water container A hold than container B
x = 11875 - 2391
x = 9484 liters
Thus, the number of liters of water in container A holds that container B is 9484 liters.

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
We always combine the liketerms in an expression when we simplify.
We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.
Example:
1 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.
3 + 4 is an expression.
2 x 4 + 6 x 7 – 9 is an expression.
33 + 77 – 88 is an expression.
We have,
We can use a proportion to solve the problem:
10 left-handed students out of 85 total students is equivalent to x left-handed students out of 391 total students:
10/85 = x/391
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
85x = 10 x 391
Then divide both sides by 85:
x = (10 x 391) / 85
Simplifying the right-hand side gives:
x = 46
Thus,
There are 46 left-handed students in Tom's school.
