You have an 8 pint mixture of paint that is made up of equal amounts of yellow paint and blue paint. To create a certain shade of green, you need a paint mixture that is 80% yellow. How many pints of yellow paint do you need to add to the mixture? Write an equation to model this situation. Solve your equation.

You need to add 12 pint of yellow.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the method I used:

There is 4 pint of Yellow (Y) and 4 pint of Blue (B)

because they said is in equal amounts, so they are 50% each.

We need 80% Y and 20% B

so 4:20 = x=80   (4 pints is 20% as "how many pints" is 80%)

So x = 16

We already have 4 pint of Yellow, so we need more 12.

.632

step-by-step explanation:

6 * 1/10 = 3/5

3*0.01 = 0.03

3/5 + 0.03 = .63

2*0.002 = .002

.63 + 0.002 = .632

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
