You have a fraction of 3/2. 3/2=1.5
Therefore, she needs 1.5 gallons of blue paint per 1 gallon of yellow paint.

The sum of two numbers is 9.9, and the sum of the squares of the numbers is 53.21. What are the numbers?

Answer:

There are two possibilities:

$x_{1} = 3.5$ and $y_{1} = 6.4$

$x_{2} = 6.4$ and $y_{2} = 3.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically speaking, the statement is equivalent to this 2-variable non-linear system:

$x + y = 9.9$

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 53.21$

First, $x$ is cleared in the first equation:

$x = 9.9 - y$

Now, the variable is substituted in the second one:

$(9.9-y)^{2} + y^{2} = 53.21$

And some algebra is done in order to simplify the expression:

$98.01-19.8\cdot y +2\cdot y^{2} = 53.21$

$2\cdot y^{2} -19.8\cdot y +44.8 = 0$

Roots are found by means of the General Equation for Second-Order Polynomials:

$y_{1} \approx \frac{32}{5}$ and $y_{2} \approx \frac{7}{2}$

There are two different values for $x$ :

$y = y_{1}$

$x_{1} = 9.9-6.4$

$x_{1} = 3.5$

$y = y_{2}$

$x_{2} = 9.9 - 3.5$

$x_{2} = 6.4$

There are two possibilities:

$x_{1} = 3.5$ and $y_{1} = 6.4$

$x_{2} = 6.4$ and $y_{2} = 3.5$
