Liam and evan are mixing paint. liam uses 2 quarts of yellow paint and adds 3 1/4 jars of blue paint. evan uses 1/2 quart of yellow paint and adds 5 1/2 jars of red paint. they end up with the same volume of paint. write an equation to represent the situation.

The required equation is given by,

2 + =

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, each jar of  Liam's paint contains x quarts of paint.

Then, Liam's solution contains,

2 +  quarts of paint  or,

2 + quarts of paint

and,

let, each jar of Evan's paint  contains, y quarts of paint.

Then, Evan's solution contains,

quarts of paint or,

quarts of paint

now, according to the question,

the required equation is given by,

2 + =
