Fill the 7L bucket. Empty water from the 7L bucket into the 3L bucket, until the 3L bucket is full. Empty the 3L bucket and repeat. Now there is 1L of Water in the 7L bucket. Empty the 3L bucket and transfer the 1L of water from the 7L into it. Now fill the 7L bucket again. This time fill the 3L bucket until it is full, you will remove 2L of water from the 7L bucket because there is already 1L of water in the 3L bucket. Now you have 5L remaining in the 7L bucket.
