Answer:
11.333333333333 (repeated)
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5 and 10 are like terms, so you need to put them together and keep x on one side by itself. This means that you need to subtract 1.5. The new equation will be .75x = 8.5. Then, you divide by .75. This will then give you the final result, x = 11.3 repeated
30 gallons of red paint & 20 gallons of blue paint
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of red to blue paint drops to make purple paint is 3 : 2
Therefore the total number of gallon, in this case, fifty (50) is equivalent to the total of two ratios (which is 3 + 2 5)
If 5 in the ratio = 50; what about 2 & 3
5 = 50
2 = x
After cross multiplication;
5x = 50 * 2
X = 100/5
X = 20
The same for ratio 3
5 = 50
3 = y
5y = 50 * 3
y = 150/5
y = 30
The answer is therefore; 30 gallons of red paint to 20 gallons of blue paint

We know that a = b and c = 30
Since b + 30 = 90, we know b = 60.
That means a = 60
a = 60
b = 60
c = 30
