I need help with this question​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's algebra really, basically make a system of equations.

1b+5j=t

3b+2j=2t

I'm gonna solve the first one for buckets so we have it in terms of jars.

b+5j=t

b=t-5j

Now I plug that into the other equation

3b+2j=2t

3(t-5j)+2j=2t

3t-15j+2j=2t

Now, since it wants how many jars are in one tub, I want to solve it so there's 1t on one side of the equation and all js on the other.  or it other words solve for t.

3t-15j+2j=2t

3t-13j = 2t

3t = 2t+13j

t = 13j

So it takes 13 jars to make one tub, or one jar is 1/13 of a tub.  You could then plug that in to one of the equations and find how much a  bucket is.
