A plastic jug contains 2g gallons of milk more than a carton of milk. The plastic jug and the carton contain(8g+6) gallons of milk altogether. How much milk does the plastic jug contain?

PJ=CM+2g

or PJ-CM=2g
PJ+Cm=8g+6

add the equations
2PJ=10g+6
PJ=5g+3 then
cm=3g+3

To find out how much milk the plastic jug contains, we can set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's say the amount of milk in the carton is 'x' gallons.

According to the problem, the plastic jug contains 2 gallons more than the carton. So, the amount of milk in the plastic jug is 'x + 2' gallons.

Now, we know that the total amount of milk in both the jug and the carton is 8g + 6 gallons.

Therefore, our equation becomes:

x + (x + 2) = 8g + 6

Simplifying the equation, we get:

2x + 2 = 8g + 6

Subtracting 2 from both sides, we have:

2x = 8g + 4

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 4g + 2

So, the amount of milk in the carton is 4g + 2 gallons.

To find the amount of milk in the plastic jug, we substitute this value back into the equation:

Plastic Jug = Carton + 2
Plastic Jug = (4g + 2) + 2
Plastic Jug = 4g + 4

Therefore, the plastic jug contains 4g + 4 gallons of milk.
