Respuesta :
She used [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cans of black paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of cans of black paint = x
Number of cans of white paint = y
Given equation;
y=2x Eqn 1
Amanda used 5 cans of white paint, therefore,
y=5
Putting in Eqn 1
[tex]5=2x\\2x=5[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Writing in fraction form;
[tex]x=2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
She used [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cans of black paint.
