Answer:
Both statements are sufficient to answer the question
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The paint mixture has following proportions:
Total volume of paint = T
Blue: x*T / 100
Green: y*T/100
Red: z*T/100
Find:
Statement 1: x = y
Statement: z = 60
Which of the above statement is sufficient to calculate the amount of green paint used
Solution:
Statement 1:
- The amount of blue paint used is:
1 gallon = x*T / 100
- x = y,
1 gallon = y*T / 100
Hence,
Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon
- The statement is sufficient
Statement 2:
- The amount of red paint used is:
3 gallon = z*T / 100
T = 300 / z = 300 / 60 = 5 gallons
T = R + B + G
G = T - R - B
G = 5 - 3 - 1
G = 1 gallons
Hence,
Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon
- The statement is sufficient
A b is no slope and kL is undefined
Answer: Choice A. (8, 4)
==========================================================
Explanation:
Because x = 2y, we can replace every copy of x with 2y
Let's do so in the second equation
3x - 4y = 8
3(x) - 4y = 8
3(2y) - 4y = 8 .... x replaced with 2y; now let's isolate y
6y - 4y = 8
2y = 8
y = 8/2 ..... divide both sides by 2
y = 4
Use this y value to find x
x = 2y
x = 2*4
x = 8
So we have x = 8 and y = 4 pair together to get the answer (x,y) = (8, 4) which is choice A.
