Tamia uses 9.9 pints of white paint and blue paint to paint her bedroom walls. 1/4 of this amount is white paint, and the rest is blue paint. How many pints of blue paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls?

7.425 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Tamia uses white and blue paint and 1/4 of the amount is white paint then the fraction of blue paint

= 1 - 1/4

= 3/4

Given that the total quantity of paints is 9.9 pints, the number of blue pints used to paint her bedroom walls

= 3/4 * 9.9

= 29.7/4

= 7.425 pints

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
