Answer 1

Problem Analysis

We are given two boxes, and the amount of beets (swekla) in the first box is five times greater than the amount in the second box. After adding 4 kg of beets to the first box and 12 kg to the second box, the amount of beets in both boxes became equal. We need to find the initial amount of beets in the second box.

Solution

Let's assume the initial amount of beets in the second box is x kg. According to the problem, the amount of beets in the first box is 5 times greater than the amount in the second box, so the initial amount of beets in the first box is 5x kg.

After adding 4 kg of beets to the first box, the total amount of beets in the first box becomes 5x + 4 kg. Similarly, after adding 12 kg of beets to the second box, the total amount of beets in the second box becomes x + 12 kg.

According to the problem, the total amount of beets in both boxes became equal after the additions. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

5x + 4 = x + 12

Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of x.

5x + 4 = x + 12

Subtract x from both sides:

4x + 4 = 12

Subtract 4 from both sides:

4x = 8

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 2

Therefore, the initial amount of beets in the second box was 2 kg.

Answer

The initial amount of beets in the second box was 2 kg.
