Mrs. Mati is setting up two rest stops for a race. There are 24 gallonsvof lemonade total at the two stops.The second stop has twice as many as the first stop.How many gallons of lemonade are at each rest stop?

tell meh the answer this hard pls....

that des not make sence

omg plz tell me the answer

To find out how many gallons of lemonade are at each rest stop, let's set up a system of equations.

Let's say the number of gallons at the first rest stop is 'x'. According to the problem, the second rest stop has twice as many gallons, so the number of gallons at the second rest stop is 2x.

Now, we know that the total number of gallons of lemonade at both rest stops is 24. So we can write an equation:

x + 2x = 24

Combining like terms, we get:

3x = 24

To solve for 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 3:

x = 24 / 3
x = 8

Therefore, there are 8 gallons of lemonade at the first rest stop, and the second rest stop has twice that amount, which is 2 * 8 = 16 gallons of lemonade.

x + 2x = 24

3x = 24
x = ?
