Answer: Sorry, I’m lazy today so I’ll just answer the first question, letter a. The answer is 30 cups of red paint.
Step-by-step explanation: Since you need 2 cups of blue paint and 4 cups of red paint, the ratio of the amount of cups you need for each paint is 1 cup of blue for every 2 cups of red. You need 15 cups of blue so you multiply it by 2 and you get 30. I hope this wasn’t confusing and I hope this helps. Please listen to you teacher because it would really help you on your work.
In this problem there might be a number that you need to add before the "( x 3)" then your answer will be 20 = 32 - 12 = 20

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to work a problem like this. You have probably been taught to write equations for each of the payment amounts as a function of time, then equate those values to solve for the time that makes them equal.
at dealer 1, the total amount paid (y) will be a function of months (x):
y = 2500 +150x
at dealer 2, the corresponding equation is ...
y = 3000 +125x
These are equal when ...
y = y
2500 +150x = 3000 +125x
25x = 500 . . . . . . . . . subtract 125x +2500 from both sides
x = 500/25 = 20
The total paid will be the same after 20 months.
That amount is ...
y = 2500 +150(20) = 5500
$5500 will be paid to either dealer after 20 months.

The other way to work the problem is to "cut to the chase". The difference in down payment is made up at the rate of difference in monthly payments. So The number of monthly payments (x) required to equal the difference in down payments is ...
25x = 500 . . . . . . . . . you may recognize this equation from above
x = 500/25 = 20
All I can see is the equation. What is it asking?
