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.
The addition property of equality tells us that adding the same number to each side of an equation gives us an equivalent equation

Answer: $8.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of a bread = x
Let the price of a tarts = x - 1
If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:
3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5
3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5
3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5
3.5x = 30
x = 30/3.5
x = 8.6
Answer:
the triangle is right
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem dictates that a^2 +b^2=c^2
6^2+8^2=10^2
36+64=100
100=100
The answer is around 914.
