Question

Container A contains 2 liters of water more than Container B. Container B contains 8 liters of water more than Container C. The total volume of these three containers is 54 liters. How many liters of water does each of the containers contain?

Answer 1

Check this out carefully.

A = B + 2
B = C + 8
A + B + C = 54
B + 2 + B + C = 54
B + 2 + B + B - 8 = 54
3B = 60
B = 20. Can you finish?
