Answer:

$y = \frac{3x + 1}{x - 2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Add -2y to both sides:

xy−3x+−2y=2y+1+−2y

Simplify:

xy−3x−2y=1

Add 3x to both sides:

xy−3x−2y+3x=1+3x

Simplify:

xy−2y=3x+1

Factor out variable y:

y(x−2)=3x+1

Divide both sides by x-2:

$\frac{y(x - 2)}{x - 2} = \frac{3x + 1}{x - 2}$

Simplify:

$y = \frac{3x + 1}{x - 2}$

Hope this helps :)

To make a certain shade of orange calvin uses a rate of 2 ounces of yellow paint to 5 ounces of red paint if he uses 200 ounces

ycow [4]

Answer: 80 ounces of yellow paint

Working:
As we know 2 ounces of yellow paint to 5 ounces of red paint, we can make a ratio:

2:5

Then we look at the question which says 200 ounces of red paint, so we replace the 5 ounces of red paint in the ratio with 200.

2:200

Then we figure out how much the 5 has been multiplied by to get to 200. We do this by doing

200 divide 5 = 40

Therefore we times the 2 ounces of yellow paint by 40 which gets us:

80:200

We can think of it as a fraction too to confirm our answer:

Simplify 80 / 200

We get 2 / 5.
