Answer:
i dont know math stinks
Step-by-step explanation:
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:
n < 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This inequality can be solved the same way the corresponding 3-step linear equation would be solved.
8n +20 < 6n +24 . . . . . given
2n +20 < 24 . . . . . . . . step 1, subtract 6n to isolate the variable on the left
2n < 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . step 2, subtract 20 to separate constants and variable terms
n < 2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of the variable
