The capacity of two bottles is 2.8 liters and each bottle has a capacity of 1.4 liters.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the capacity of each bottle. Hence:

Amount of orange juice = 24x - 3.1

Also:

Amount of juice = 18x + 5.3

24x - 3.1 = 18x + 5.3

x = 1.4 liters

The capacity of two bottles is 2.8 liters and each bottle has a capacity of 1.4 liters.
