the paint mixer wants to mix paint that is 15% gloss with paint that is 30% gloss to make 6 gallons of paint that is 25% gloss. How many gallons of each paint should the paint mixer mix together? HELP! ~

hero (hero):

x + y = 6 .15x + .30y = 6(.25)

that isn't one of my opinion :o

That's how you setup the problem to solve it. You have to solve for x and y to find what you need. Don't you recognize that this is systems of equations?
