Question 461796
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Close, but no cigar.  The amount of red is 3 times the amount of white, so:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r\ =\ 3w]


The amount of red plus the amount of white must be 264 gallons.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r\ +\ w\ =\ 264]


Then substitute:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3w\ +\ w\ =\ 264]


You can take it from here.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
