Answer:

  -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x and y represent the first and second numbers, respectively, we can write the problem statement as the equations ...

  • 4x +5y = -28
  • 9x +2y = 11

We can multiply the first equation by -9 and add 4 times the second equation to get an equation in y alone:

  -9(4x +5y) +4(9x +2y) = -9(-28) +4(11)

  -37y = 296 . . . . . simplify

  296/-37 = y = -8 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

The second number is -8.

Saul makes green paint by mixing blue paint and yellow paint.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

12 gallons of yellow paint

4 gallons of blue paint

Step-by-step explanation:

saul’s paint ratio is 3b to 1y which makes 4ounces of paint total (3b+1y=4)

So if you want 16 gallons of paint total using the same ratio of colors then you need to figure out how many of the recipe you will need to put in by dividing

16/4=4 so 4 times the original recipe

Now multiply the original paint numbers by 4 since you will do the ratio 4 times

3y*4= 12 gallons of yellow paint and

1b*4= 4 gallons of blue paint


Hope this helps! :)
