Explanation:

Answer 2

The equation that relates y, the amount of yellow paint in liters, and b, the amount of blue paint in liters, needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint is y + b = 888

Solution:

Given that the Green Goober mixes 333 liters of yellow paint with 555 liters of blue paint to make 888 liters of special green paint for his costume.

Let "y" be the amount of yellow paint in liters needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint

Let "b" be the amount of blue paint in liters needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint

The required equation is:

amount of yellow paint in liters + amount of blue paint in liters = Green Goober's special green paint

y + b = 888

Where y = 333 liters and b = 555 liters ( from given information)

Thus the equation is found
