Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's call the original volume of water in the pitcher "V". Then, after Mai added 2.6 liters, the total volume of water in the pitcher became V + 2.6 = 10.4 liters.

To find the original volume of water in the pitcher, we can isolate V by subtracting 2.6 from both sides of the equation:

V + 2.6 = 10.4

V = 10.4 - 2.6

V = 7.8 liters

So the original volume of water in the pitcher was 7.8 liters.
