Answer:

8 cup of blue

12 cup of red

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate how much black paint is produced, assuming that the volumes add up, we have to:

1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6

5/6 cup of paint is produced, I want to know how much I need to produce 20 cups, I divide the value I want by the ideal value, that is, 5/6 and thus I obtain the factor that I require:

20 / (5/6) = 24

Now I multiply by 24 each quantity of blue and red paint

1/2 * 24 = 12

1/3 * 24 = 8

Which means you need 12 cups of red paint and 8 cups of blue paint

Answer:

\left \{ {{x=3} \atop {y=-7}} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can directly substitute y of the first equation to the second equation.

-2x - 1 = 3x - 16

5x = 15

x = 3

Substituting back to any of the two equations, we get y = -2(3)-1 = -7.  If you check with the second equation, y = 3(3)-16 = -7 as well.

Therefore \left \{ {{x=3} \atop {y=-7}} \right..

If y=12 when x=3, find y when x =15 ( Y varies directly as x)​
Flauer [41]
Y = kx
when y= 12, x=3
12 = 3k
k = 12/3
k = 4

y = 4x
when x= 15
y = 4(15)
y = 60

Kay [80]

I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.

 PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.

 For this case the area is given by:

 A = (22 + x) * (28 + x) = 722

 Rewriting we have:

 616 + 22x + 28x + x ^ 2 = 722

 x ^ 2 + 50x + 616 - 722 = 0

 x ^ 2 + 50x - 106 = 0

 Solving the polynomial we have:

 x1 = 2.04

 x2 = -52.04

 We take the positive root:

 x = 2.04 inches:

 Answer:

 The width of the border to the nearest inch is:

 x = 2inches

Molodets [167]

Subtract the payment from the previous balance:

4236.87 - 3200 = 1036.87

Now add his total purchases:

1036.87 + 989.42 = 2026.29

This is the total amount he owes, now subtract that from his credit line:

8500 - 2026.29 = 6473.71

His available credit is $6,473.71
