George is making brown paint he wants to make brown paint he must mix purple and yellow paint together in a 1:1 ratio. In order to make purple he must mix red and blue paint together at a ratio of 2 quarts red to 1 quart of blue. How many quarts of yellow does he need

3/4 quarts of yellow paint is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

In order to make purple he must mix red and blue paint together at a ratio of 2 quarts red to 1 quart of blue.

3 quart of Purple paint mix requires 2quarts of red paint and 1 quart of blue paint.

We are also told that:

When George wants to make brown paint he must mix purple and yellow paint together in a 1:1 ratio.

This means 1 Purple paint to 1 Yellow paint

4/4 quarts of Yellow paint = 1 yellow paint

3/4 quarts of Yellow paint = 3/4 quarts of purple paint

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
