There are two containers of milk. There is twice as much milk in the first container as in the second. After using 2 gal. of milk from the second container and 3 gal. of milk from the first container, the second container had 4.5 times less milk than the first. How many gallons of milk were in both containers originally?
Answered by Henry
1st. container has 2x gal..
2nd container has X gal.

2x - 3 = x-2 + 4.5(x-2).
2x - 3 = 5.5x - 11,
-3.5x = -8,
X = 2.90 gal.
2x = 6.80 gal.
Answered by Henry
Correction: X = 2.29 gal.
2x = 4.58 gal.
