Answer:
2 + (13/4)x = 1/2 + (11/2)y
Step-by-step explanation:
Let each jar of paint used by Liam be x
Let each jar of paint used by Evan be y.
Liam uses 2 quarts of yellow paints and adds 3 1/4 jars of blue paint. so we have
2 + 3 1/4x
= 2 + (13/4)x
Since Evan also uses 1/2 quarts of yellow paints and add 5 1/2 jar of red paint, we have
1/2 + 5 1/2y
= 1/2 + (11/2)y
Since they end up with the same volume of paint, we have
2 + (13/4)x = 1/2 + (11/2)y
Subtract 120 every time but I don’t know the second one
