A mixture of orange paint contains 8 teaspoons of red paint and 12 teaspoons of yellow paint. To make the same shade of orange paint using 18 teaspoons of red paint, how much yellow paint would you need?

27 spoons of yellow paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Red paint : Yellow paint = 8 : 12

Let 'x' be the number of spoons of yellow paint.

8 : 12 :: 18 : x

Product of extremes = Product of means

8 * x = 12 * 18

     x = 3 *9

     x = 27 spoons

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
