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:

what is an equation of the line that passes through the point (5,1) and is parallel to the line x+y=9
Ede4ka [16]
Y=9-x is slope-intercept form of that line, which means it has a slope of -1. Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of this new line will also be -1.

To find the line that goes through (5,1), we can use a blank equation y=mx+b. We know that m=-1, so we can use the given point to find b:

y=mx+b
Y=-x+b
1=-5+b
6=b

So the line would be y=-x+6.

Explain how to determine whether a point is a solution to a linear inequality?
Orlov [11]

Answer:The solution of a linear inequality in two variables like Ax + By > C is an ordered pair (x, y) that produces a true statement when the values of x and y are substituted into the inequality.

Example

Is (1, 2) a solution to the inequality

2x+3y>1

2⋅1+3⋅2>?1

2+5>?1

7>1

The graph of an inequality in two variables is the set of points that represents all solutions to the inequality. A linear inequality divides the coordinate plane into two halves by a boundary line where one half represents the solutions of the inequality. The boundary line is dashed for > and < and solid for ≤ and ≥. The half-plane that is a solution to the inequality is usually shaded.
