Respuesta :

Answer:

2 + (13/4)x = 1/2 + (11/2)y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each jar of paint used by Liam be x

Let each jar of paint used by Evan be y.

Liam uses 2 quarts of yellow paints and adds 3 1/4 jars of blue paint. so we have

2 + 3 1/4x

= 2 + (13/4)x

Since Evan also uses 1/2 quarts of yellow paints and add 5 1/2 jar of red paint, we have

1/2 + 5 1/2y

= 1/2 + (11/2)y

Since they end up with the same volume of paint, we have

2 + (13/4)x = 1/2 + (11/2)y
