Answer:
Both statements are sufficient to answer the question
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The paint mixture has following proportions:
Total volume of paint = T
Blue: x*T / 100
Green: y*T/100
Red: z*T/100
Find:
Statement 1: x = y
Statement: z = 60
Which of the above statement is sufficient to calculate the amount of green paint used
Solution:
Statement 1:
- The amount of blue paint used is:
1 gallon = x*T / 100
- x = y,
1 gallon = y*T / 100
Hence,
Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon
- The statement is sufficient
Statement 2:
- The amount of red paint used is:
3 gallon = z*T / 100
T = 300 / z = 300 / 60 = 5 gallons
T = R + B + G
G = T - R - B
G = 5 - 3 - 1
G = 1 gallons
Hence,
Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon
- The statement is sufficient
Answer: $12.63
Step-by-step explanation:
$14.87 + $7.76 = $22.63
2pizzas x $5 = $10
$22.63 - $10 = $12.63
We are given the equations 3x+5y=-3 and x-5y=-5.
Both equations have a 5y term which allows us to easily solve the system by elimination. To do so we will add the equations together like a simple addition problem by adding the x terms together, the y terms together, and the integer answers together.
3x + 5y = -3
+x - 5y = -5
---------------
4x + 0y = -8
The y terms cancel out since one is positive and one is negative. Now we can solve for x.
4x = -8
x = -2
Now plug -2 in for x in one of the original equations to find y.
(-2) - 5y = -5
-5y = -3
y = 3/5
Our answer as an ordered pair is (2, 3/5)
X represents the amount of children's tickets
y represents the amount of adult's tickets
8(x+y) = 54
