. Henri and Talia are mixing paint for an art project. They mixed pliters of red paint, 0.6 liters of blue paint, and p– 0.4 liters of white paint. They then divided the mixture evenly into 2 jars. If each jar contains 2.4 liters of paint, how much red paint did they use?

The total amount of red paint did they use is 2.3 liters and this can be determined by forming the linear equation in one variable.

Given :

Henri and Talia are mixing paint for an art project.
They mixed p liters of red paint, 0.6 liters of blue paint, and (p – 0.4) liters of white paint.
They then divided the mixture evenly into 2 jars.
Each jar contains 2.4 liters of paint.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the amount of red paint did they use:

Step 1 - The linear equation can be formed in order to determine the amount of red paint did they use.

Step 2 - The linear equation that represents the total paint in both the jars is given below:

p + 0.6 + p - 0.4 = 2.4 + 2.4

Step 3 - Simplify the above equation in order to determine the value of 'p'.

2p + 0.2 = 4.8

2p = 4.6

p = 2.3 liters

So, the total amount of red paint did they use is 2.3 liters.
