Answer:
Hence, the expression that relates b and y is:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that:
The Green Goober, a wildly unpopular superhero, mixes 3 liters of yellow paint with 5 liters of blue paint to make 8 liters of special green paint for his costume.
i.e. the proportion of yellow paint used =
and proportion of blue paint used = .
Let 'x' be the total mixture formed.
The amount of yellow paint(y)=
i.e.
and amount of blue paint(b)=
i.e. .
Hence we can equate x from both the equation to obtain:
Hence, equation that relates the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint (y) and blue paint (b) needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint is:
