Answer:

20 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the small pitchers be given by s

and the larger pitchers by l

According to the given information:

2s + l = 8....(1) \\ and \\ l - s = 2 \\ l = s + 2...(2) \\ substituting \: l = s + 2 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ 2s + s + 2 = 8 \\ 3s = 8 - 2 \\ 3s = 6 \\ s =  \frac{6}{3}  \\ \huge \red{ s = 2} \\ substituting \:   s  = 2 \: in \: equation \: (2)  \\ l = 2 + 2 \\ \huge \purple{ l = 4}\\\\Now\\ 3l +4s \\= 3\times 4+4\times 2\\= 12 +8\\= 20\: cups

So, 3 large pitchers and 4 small pitchers hold 20 cups of water.

vladimir1956 [14]
5t=3b+660....and....2t+5B=450

from the first we can see that the t=(3b+650)/5 and using this value in the second.

(6+1320)/5+5b=450 making all have common denominator.

6b+1320+25b=2250

31b=930

b=30.. and 2t+5b=450

t=150
