Jessica gets her favorite shade of purple paint by mixing 1/3
cup of blue paint with 1/2 cup of red paint. How many cups
of blue and red paint does Jessica need to make 20 cups of
her favorite purple paint?

8 cups of blue and 12 cups of red

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine 1/3 c of blue + 1/2 c of red = 5/6 c of purple.

(5/6)x = 20

x = (6/5)20 = 24

this is applied to each of the above measurements to show that you need 8 c of blue + 12 c of red.

answer: it is 1: 47 pm

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
