Answer:

24 teaspoons of red paint would be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the initial mixture contains 8 teaspoons of red paint and 12 teaspoons of blue paint, this mixture contains a total of 20 units of paint, of which 8 are red, that is, 8 out of 20. Therefore, the proportion of red paint is 40%, while the proportion of blue paint is 60% remaining.

Therefore, in the case of making the same mixture (with the same proportion) using 36 teaspoons of blue paint, the necessary amount of red paint is determined through the following calculation:

60 = 36

40 = X

((40 x 36) / 60) = X

1,440 = 60 = X

24 = X

Thus, 24 teaspoons of red paint would be needed.

Answer: y=-3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So to make your equation into slope-intercept form, simply subtract 3x from both sides, which results in y=-3x+5

Which function has the greatest rate of change?<br>plzzz help ASAP
Andreyy89
The answer is A because the rate of change is 7.
You can find this by writing it from standard form to slope intercept (y = mx+b).

B is 6, C is 5, and D is also 5 (all lower than 7)
