x+142 =3x+64
subtract x from each side
142 = 2x+64
subtract 64 from each side
142-64 = 2x
78=2x
divide by 2
78/2 = x
x=39
The number is 39
Answer
24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
That is (96 cups)
Step by step explanation
Jasper Green mix 4 quarts of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.
Let's convert 4 quarts into cups.
1 quart = 4 cups
4 quarts = 16 cups
Here mix 16 cups of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.
Let's use the proportion
Green paint Black paint
16 2/3
x 4
16/x =2/3 divided by 4

Cross multiplying, we get
16*4 = 2/3 x
64 = 2/3 x
x = 64/(2/3)
x = 64 * 3/2
x = 192/2
x = 96 cups
96 cups of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
We can covert 96 cups into quarts by dividing by 4
96/4 = 24 quarts
24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
Thank you.
Answer:
8 nickels and 9 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
If all were dimes, the value would be $1.70. It is $0.40 less than that. Changing a dime for a nickel reduces the value by $0.05, so there must have been $0.40/$0.05 = 8 such changes.
There are 8 nickels and 9 dimes.
