Answer:Add 44 liters blue
Step-by-step explanation:Mary has 20 liters of paint mixed white:blue in the ratio 2:3. So two fifths of that paint is white and three fifths is blue. So that's 8 liters white, 12 liters blue.
We want to add paint to get white:blue = 1:7. Clearly we need to add blue. We have our 8 liters of white, so we need a total of 7(8)=56 liters of blue. We already have 12, so we have to add 56-12=44 liters of blue paint:
44. You can come to this answer by using algebra,
1/2x = 22
Multiply both sides by 2(denominator) thus,
X = 44.
Or you can use lateral thinking and realise that if 22 is 50%, you need to multiply by 2 to reach 100%.
Answer:
on my knowledge i can tell you the methods used to solve it which are;
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Elimination method.</h3><h3>Substitution method.</h3><h3>Graphical method.</h3>
4x^2 = 100
x^2 = 25
x = + or - 5
x = 5 or x = -5
