A!
hope this helps you out
Set up a system of equations.
X+y=6
Y-x =40
Substitution method.
Y=6-x
(6-x)-x =40
6-2x=40
-2x=34
X= -17
Plug it back into the equation.
-17+y=6
Y=33
(-17,33) is one of the possible answers.
Where’s the graph or whatever???
Answer:
The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:
Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:
- <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints.
</u>
- <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints.
</u>
As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.
