Answer:

36 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using the least common multiple method

Find and list multiples of the liter the blue paint comes in the liters the yellow paint comes in. We find the first common multiple is found. This is the least common multiple.

Multiples of 9:

9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54

Multiples of 12:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60

Therefore,

LCM(9, 12) = 36

Hence, the smallest amount of each paint color the store must have sold is 36 liters

I assume the denominator is x-2.

\lim_{x\to2}\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{2}}{x-2}=\\
\lim_{x\to2}\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{2x}-\dfrac{x}{2x}}{x-2}=\\
\lim_{x\to2}\dfrac{\dfrac{2-x}{2x}}{x-2}=\\
\lim_{x\to2}\dfrac{2-x}{2x(x-2)}}=\\
\lim_{x\to2}-\dfrac{x-2}{2x(x-2)}}=\\

Ierofanga [76]
If angle 3 is adjacent (right next to) angle 5, then its measure would be 60 degrees.  If angle 3 is congruent (vertical or alternate interior/exterior) to 5, it is 120.
