Respuesta :

Answer:

There are [tex]4.58[/tex] gallons of milk in each container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]1[/tex]st container has [tex]2x[/tex] gal.

[tex]2[/tex]nd container has [tex]x[/tex] gal.

To calculate the number of gallons

[tex]2x - 3 = x-2 + 4.5(x-2)[/tex]

[tex]2x - 3 = 5.5x - 11[/tex]

[tex]-3.5x = -8[/tex]

[tex]x = 2.29[/tex] gal.

[tex]2x = 4.58[/tex] gal.  

Hence, there are [tex]4.58[/tex] gallons of milk in each container originally.
