Marc mixes blue and yellow paint to make his favorite shade of green, which he'll use to paint his house. He has 14 cans of blue

paint and 20 cans of yellow paint when he starts. He wants the same green color every time he mixes, so the amounts of blue and yellow must always be proportional to the original mixture. On day 1, he mixes 4 cans of blue and 6 cans of yellow. On day 2, he mixes 6 cans of blue and 9 cans of yellow. Fill in the blanks to find the highest number of cans of each color Marc can mix to make the same shade of green on day 3. 1. In simplest form, what is the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint in the mixture?

Answer:

2 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cans of blue paint = 14

Total cans of yellow paint = 20

Day 1:

Yellow paint = 6 cans

Blue paint = 4 cans

Ratio of blue paints to yellow paint

4 cans : 6 cans

= 2 : 3

Day 2:

Yellow paint = 9 cans

Blue paint = 6 cans

Ratio of blue paints to yellow paint

6 cans : 9 cans

2 : 3

The ratio of blue paint to yellow paint in the mixture is 2 : 3

Day 3:

Cans of yellow remaining after 2 days

Yellow paint = Total cans of yellow paint - day 1 cans of yellow paint - day 2 cans of yellow paint

= 20 - 6 - 9

= 20 - 15

= 5 cans

Cans of blue remaining after 2 days

Blue paint = Total cans of blue paint - day 1 cans of blue paint - day 2 cans of blue paint

= 14 - 4 - 6

= 14 - 10

= 4 cans

Y = 6x - 4<br> y = -x + 3
likoan [24]

Answer:

  (1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the second equation from the first:

  (y) -(y) = (6x -4) -(-x +3)

  0 = 7x -7 . . . . .  simplify

  0 = x - 1 . . . . . . divide by 7

  1 = x . . . . . . . . . add 1

  y = -1 +3 = 2 . . . substitute into the second equation

The solution is (x, y) = (1, 2).
