Answer:
here is my working out to find answer, if u feel that the answer is wrong then do the reverse calculation by putting n value to the equation. hope u understood and stay safe!
The correct answer is option B which is mixture B will have the highest ratio of blue paint.
<h3>What is a ratio?</h3>
In mathematics, ratios are used to determine the relationship between two numbers it indicates how many times is one number to another number.
<h3 />
The given ratios are:-
Mixture A = 
Mixture B = 
Mixture C = 
Mixture B = 
Here the ratio of mixture B is the highest among all the options available.
Therefore the correct answer is option B which is mixture B will have the highest ratio of blue paint.

<em>1) 5 c + 4 = - 26
5 c = -26 -4
5 c = -30
c = -30 / 5
c = -6 so correct option is B..
2) 3 x - x +2 = 12
2 x +2 = 12
2x = 12-2
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x= 5 so correct option is D
3 ) 3 ( x + 1 )+ 6 = 33
3x + 3 + 6 = 33
3x + 9 = 33
3x = 33-9
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8 so correct option is B
4) y/-6=9
y=9 x -6
y= - 54 there is no such option i guess question is missing
5)(x + 4) /2 = 7
x +4 = 7 x 2
x + 4 = 14
x = 14-4
x = 10 so correct option is D
6)1/3 ( 2x - 8) = 4
2x/ 3 - 8 /3 = 4
2x - 8 / 3 = 4
2x - 8 = 4 x 3
2x - 8 = 12
2x = 12 + 8
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10 so correct option is C

They are <em><u>not</u></em><u> </u>equivalent. When you <em>distribute the 1/4</em>, the <em><u>expressions are different</u></em>.
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
