There are three barrels filled with a mixture of two different acids given. The ratio of acids in the first barrel is 2 :1, in the second 3 : 2 , and in the third 5 : 3. If the content of all barrels is mixed together in one large barrel, the obtained mixture would have the ratio of acids 19 : 11 and the volume of 15 liters. What is the volume of each small barrel if the volume of the second barrel is 2.5 times greater than the volume of the third barrel?

Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
