Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Kaylee used the amount of green paint in the mixture = x ounces
and the amount of white paint = y ounces
Total amount of mixture = 50 ounces
Equation will be x + y = 50 ------(1)
Ratio of green paint to the white paint in the mixture = 5 : 3
⇒ x : y = 5 : 3
⇒ 
⇒ x = 
---------(2)
Therefore, By solving these two equations by substitution method we can get the amount of green and white paint used in the mixture.
<u> Equation:</u>
x(x - 5) + 3(x + 5)
<u>Steps:</u>
x(x - 5) + 3(x + 5)
<u>Expand:</u>
x(x - 5 ): x^2 - 5x
x^2 - 5x + 3(x + 5)
<u>Expand:</u>
3(x + 5): 3x + 15
x^2 - 5x + 3x + 15
<u>Add Similar Elements: </u>
-5x + 3x
= -2x
Answer x^2 - 2x + 15 Doesn't Factor
Hope that helps!!! : )
I'm not too sure but i think:
A
_ r = x
Y
Lets solve your equation step by step:
(4k + 5)(k + 1) = 0
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation:
4k^2 + 9k + 5 = 0
Step 2: Factor left side of equation:
(4k + 5)(k + 1) = 0
Step 3: Set factors equal to 0:
4k + 5 = 0 or k + 1 = 0
k = - 5/4 or k = - 1
Answer: k = - 5/4 or k = - 1
Hope that helps!!!! ( Answer: k = -5/4 or k = -1)
