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.

Which lines are parallel? Why?
Shtirlitz [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C) c || d by converse of corresponding angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Only corresponding angles where transversal b crosses lines c and d are shown. All answer choices involving a||b or interior angles can be eliminated from consideration.

The "corresponding angle" theorem tells you corresponding angles are congruent if the lines are parallel.

The converse of that theorem tells you the lines are parallel if the corresponding angles are congruent. Here, the angles are shown congruent, so the "converse" theorem applies.
