Melissa and Emily are playing at the pool. They have three different measuring jars for liters, cups, and pints. Melissa poured 7 cups of water and 3 liters of water into the pint jar and it was filled up to 9.8 pints. Later, Emily started with 5 liters of water in the pint jar and took out 9 cups. The remaining water level was equal to 6 pints.

Model the given situation as a system of linear equations and solve it for liters. What is the inference drawn from the solution?
