Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:
40 houses,

500 liters of waters everyday for common utilities

Unknown amount of water per house which we will call x.

4500 max liters for the gated community

Solve:

4500=40x+500

subtract 500 from both sides

4000=40x

divide by 40

100=x

Check:

40(100)+500=4500

4000+500=450

correct

Answer:

100 liters of water can be used by each house.
