Yellow:blue is a ratio of 2:3, meaning that 2/5 of the desired mixture is yellow. From this, you need to find how much yellow is necessary for 20 ounces. Well, 2/5 of the 20 ounces will be yellow paint, while the other 3/5 will be blue. So she will need 8 ounces of yellow paint to get 20 ounces of the desired mixture. Hope this helps! :)

3 ounces of blue paint added with 2 ounces of yellow you would get 5 onces

Then you divide 20 by 5 you get 4
Then multiply 4 by 2 ounces you get 8

Sheila will need 8 ounces of of yellow paint for the new mixture.

Solve 2x + 8 + 5x - 2 = 90
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x+8+5x−2=90

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x+8+5x−2=90

2x+8+5x+−2=90

(2x+5x)+(8+−2)=90(Combine Like Terms)

7x+6=90

7x+6=90

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.

7x+6−6=90−6

7x=84

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

7x7=847

x=12
