Let the first digit of the 2-digit number be x and the second digit be y.
Then the ratio (x/y) equals (1/2). Write a formula for y in terms of x.
The tens digit is 2 more than the units digit. Using the letters x and y, write out the proper equation.
Now solve your two equations simultaneously for x and y.
The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
The given equation is
12x + 2y = 6
we would make this equation to look like the slope intercept equation.
12x + 2y = 6
If we subtract 12x from both sides of the equation, it becomes
12x - 12x + 2y = 6 - 12x
2y = 6 - 12x
2y = - 12x + 6
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes
y = - 6x + 3
Thus, by comparing with the slope intercept equation,
slope = - 6
y intercept = 3
Answer:
2.625 cups or 21 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Ava needs 3/4 cup of blue paint for every 1 cup of white paint. So, the ratio is 0.75 : 1.
She has 28 ounces of white paint. But, you have to convert ounces to cups.
1 cup = 8 ounces
28 ounces ÷ 8 ounces/cup = 3.5 cups
Now set up a ratio.

X (how much blue paint is needed) is over 3.5 cups (the amount of white paint she has)
Cross multiply and divide.

x = 0.75 × 3.5
x = 2.625 cups
To convert to ounces, multiply by 8.
2.625 cups × 8 ounces = 21 ounces
Therefore, Ava needs 2.625 cups or 21 ounces of blue paint.
Hope that helps.
