Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The amount of yellow paint used is3 liters. The amount of blue paint used is5 liters3. The total amount of green paint produced is8 liters4. The amounts of yellow and blue paint are directly added to produce the green paint5. There is no loss of volume when the paints are mixed

STEP 2

We need to write an equation that relates yy, the amount of yellow paint, and bb, the amount of blue paint, to make the green paint. The total volume of green paint is the sum of the volumes of yellow and blue paint.So, the equation would bey+b=Greenpainty + b = Green\, paint

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the yellow paint, blue paint, and green paint to form the equation.
3+5=83 +5 =8

STEP 4

So, the equation that relates yy, the amount of yellow paint, and bb, the amount of blue paint, needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint isy+b=8y + b =8This equation means that the sum of the amount of yellow paint and the amount of blue paint should always equal8 liters to make the special green paint.
