Two jugs are filled with water. If you remove 1 liter of water from the first jug, then the two jugs contain the same amount of

water. If you remove 2 liters from the second, then the second jug would contain half as much as the first. How many liters of water are in the largest jug?

Let x be the first jug, y the second jug.

From first statement, subtracting 1 from x, makes them equal:
x - 1 = y

From second statement, subtracting 2 from y, makes it half of x:
x/2 = y-2

Solve system with substitution:
x/2 = (x-1) -2
x/2 = x - 3
x- x/2 = 3
x/2 = 3
x = 6

y = x-1 = 6-1 = 5

Therefore the largest jug contains 6 liters.

15.04 degrees or answer A is correct.


The Law of Sines is the relationship between the sides and angles of non-right (oblique) triangles . Simply, it states that the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side is the same for all sides and angles in a given triangle. The formula for it is A=b•sin a/sin b.


You can transform the law of sines formulas to solve some problems of triangulation (solving a triangle). You can use them to find:

The remaining sides of a triangle, knowing two angles and one side.
The third side of a triangle, knowing two sides and one of the non-enclosed angles. In some cases (ambiguous cases) there may be two solutions to the same triangle. If the following conditions are fulfilled, your triangle may be an ambiguous case:
You only know the angle α and sides a and c;
Angle α is acute (α < 90°);
a is shorter than c (a < c);
a is longer than the altitude h from angle β, where h = c * sin(α) (a > c * sin(α)).

I hate useless complicated math lol ;)
