One large jar and five small jars can hold 26 ounces of jam. One large jar minus one small jar can hold 2 ounces of jam. Use the

given matrix equation to solve for the number of ounces of jam that each jar can hold. Explain the steps that you took to solve this problem.
A matrix with 2 rows and 2 columns, where row 1 is 1 and 5 and row 2 is 1 and negative 1, is multiplied by matrix with 2 rows and 1 column, where row 1 is l and row 2 is s, equals a matrix with 2 rows and 1 column, where row 1 is 26 and row 2 is 2.

Using a system of equations, it is found that one large jar holds 6 ounces and one small jar holds 4 ounces.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable l: Weight that a large jar holds.
  • Variable s: Weight that a small jar holds.

One large jar and five small jars can hold 26 ounces of jam, hence:

l + 5s = 26, which is the first equation in matrix form.

Then:

l = 26 - 5s.

One large jar minus one small jar can hold 2 ounces of jam, hence:

l - s = 2, which is the second equation in matrix form:

Then:

l = 2 + s = 26 - 5s

2 + s = 26 - 5s

6s = 24

s = 4.

l = 26 - 5s = 6.
