Let the capacity of the large pitcher be L cups and the capacity of the small pitcher be S cups.1) L+2S = 8 "Two small pitchers (2S) and one large pitcher (L) can hold 8 cups of water."2) L-S = 2 "One large pitcher (L) minus one small pitcher (S) constitute 2 cups of water."Solve equation 2) for L---> (L = S+2) and substitue into equation 1) to get:1a) (S+2)+2S = 8 Solve for S.
1b) 3S+2 = 8 Subtract 2 from both sides.1c) 3S = 6 Divide both sides by 3.1d) S = 2 andL = S+2L = 2+2 = 4The large pitcher can hold 4 cups.The small pitcher can hold 2 cups.
