Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

x=blue

y=white

x+y=40

30x+20y=920

30(x+y=40) ; 30x+30y=1200___[1]

30x+20y=920 ; 30x+20y=920___[2]

[1]-[2] : 30x+30y-30x-20y=1200-920

       10y=280

       y=28

painter buys 28 white gallons

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: 2.5=\frac{n}{35}+\frac{n}{45}


Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the equation asked, you must add the times:

t_{total}=t_1+t_2

Where t_1 is the time takes Lilly in her path to work and t_2  is the time takes Lilly in her path to home.

2. You must use the following formula of speed and solve for the time

V=\frac{n}{t}

Where n is the distance, V is the speed and t is the time.

3. You know that Lilly takes a train each day to work that averages 35 miles per hour, then, you can write the following expression:

35=\frac{n}{t_1}\\t_1=\frac{n}{35}

4. And her train ride follows the same path at 45 miles per hour:

 45=\frac{n}{t_2}\\t_2=\frac{n}{45}

5. Then, you obtain the following equation:

2.5=\frac{n}{35}+\frac{n}{45}
