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

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add 1 on both sides

4x + 5 = 5x -1

Then, subtract 4x on both sides

4x+6 =5x

-4x      -4x

6=x
