<span> Suppose the # of litres in the small container is 'x'.
This would make '2x' litres of water in the larger container.
After taking 8 litres from both containers, the following equation can be written:

(2x-8) = 3 (x-8)

Open the brackets:

2x-8 = 3x-24

Collect like terms:

x = 16

There were 16 litres in the smaller container</span>

Answer:

  38

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursion relation describes an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 2 and a common difference of 4. The explicit formula for the n-th term of the sequence is ...

  f(n) = f(1) +d(n -1) . . . . . for first term f(1) and difference d

  f(n) = 2 +4(n -1) = 4n -2

Then the 10th term is ...

  f(10) = 4(10) -2

  f(10) = 38
