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.

HELP<br> Write an equation of a line passing through (-8, 6) and parallel to the line y=-4x - 1
MArishka [77]

The line is parallel so it has the same slope as the other line, -4.

Substitute the x and y variables with the given points and find the y-intercept.

(-8, 6)

y = -4x + b

6 = -4(8) + b

6 = -32 + b

6 + 32 = b

38 = b

So the equation is:

y = -4 + 38
