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.

Answer:

84,375 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the surface area of the pyramid. The pyramid can be divided into 4 triangles and one square (the bottom).

Area of a triangle is 1/2*b*h where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height.

Area of a square is length times width.

Total area = 4\times(\frac{1}{2}\times 225 \times 75)+225\times225 = 84375 m^2

10x20x2=$400

All you have to do is find the area of the floor(10x20=200),then you just multiple the area by the cost(200x$2=$400),and that is how you find the cost.
