Answer:
6 1/4 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of yellow paint to red paint = 2.5 : 4.
We have 10 pints of red paint so 2.5 / 4 = x / 10 where x is the volume of yellow paint.
4x = 2.5 * 10
x = 25/4
= 6 1/4 pints.
Answer:
2.5 * 10/4 = 6.25 pints of yellow paint

Answer:
f your number is x, then the difference between that number and 8 would be x-8. Twice that is 2(x-8)
Three times the sum of the number and 3 would be 3(x+3). So, you get the equation:
2(x-8)=3(x+3)
2x-16=3x+9
x=-25
