Answer:

3/4 = 16/x

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the original ratio: 3:4 (a.k.a. 3/4 or 3 to 4)

Because 16 correlates to red paint and 3 correlates to red paint the will be in the same location (as the numerator or denominator).

Also, the amount of blue paint is unknown so that is <u>x</u>. <u>4</u> also represents blue paint, so <u>4</u> and <u>x</u> will also be on the same level (as the numerator of denominator).

Setting up the equation: 3/<u>4</u> = 16/<u>x</u>

Well if she added three blue and four red originally, and is now using 16 red then we would divide 16 by the original four. Which means to get the number of blue we are gonna end up multiplying by four. So three times four is twelve. Which means she would use 12 blue and 16 red to get the same color she got with 3 blue and 4 red earlier. The equation, lets use x for blue and y for red, would be 4(3x + 4y) = desired color

The larger of two numbers is 1 more than twice the
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let the smaller number be x and the larger number be 2x+1.

According to the question,

The sum of the numbers is 20 less than three

times the larger.

i.e x + (2x+1)= 3*(2x+1) - 20

or, x + 2x +1 = 6x + 3 -20

or, 3x + 1 = 6x - 17

or, 3x = 18

or x= 18/3

x = 6

And 2x+1 = 2*6+1 = 13.

Therefore the smaller number is 6 and larger number is 13.

Hope it helps!

Use △XYZ, in which ∠X is a right angle and tanY=815.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

8/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct and complete question is:

<em>Use △XYZ, in which ∠X is a right angle and tanY=8/15. What is the ratio for sinY?</em>

From definition:

tan(Y) = opposite/adjacent

From the graph and the question:

tan(Y) = XZ/XY = 8/15

Then:

XZ = 8 and XY = 15. Using pytaghorean theorem:

XZ² + XY² = YZ²

8² + 15² = YZ²

√289 = YZ

17 = YZ

From definition:

sin(Y) = opposite/hypotenuse

From the graph:

sin(Y) = XZ/YZ

sin(Y)= 8/17
