last bubble one i guess ok
Hi there!
Using some simple conversions we can determine how many quarts are in 2 & a half gallons.
1 gallon = 4 quarts.
2 gallons = 8 quarts.
Since we're trying to determine how many quarts are in 2 & a half gallons we can separate our problem into how many quarts are in two gallons and how many are in a half a gallon.
2 gallons = 8 quarts.
.5 gallon = 2 quarts.
After adding this together we come up with the answer that there are 10 quarts in 2 & a half gallons. :)
<span>lets solve for x, and then we'll find an integer solution:
3x + 4y = 24
3x = 24 - 4y
</span><span>x = (24 - 4y)/3
</span>so the right side has to be an integer, or 24 - 4y has to be a multiple of 3:
<span>24 - 4y
</span>then, y has to be 3, see:
<span>x = (24 - 4y)/3
</span><span>x = (24 - 4(3))/3
</span><span>x = (24 - 12)/3
</span><span>x = (12)/3
</span>x = 4
then, we have x = 4 and y = 3
