Answer:
Proportion states that the two ratios or fraction are equal.
As per the given statement: For every 3 ounces of peanuts, there are 2 ounces of cashews. A batch has 60 ounces of peanuts.
Let x be the ounces of cashew will a batch have.
then by definition of proportion, we have;
By cross multiply we have;
Divide by 3 on both sides we get;
therefore, 40 ounces of cashews will a batch have for every 60 ounces of peanuts.
16x - 5y = -33 First, you subtract 16x from both sides of the
<u>-16x -16x </u> equation
<u>-5y</u> = <u>-16x -33</u> Next, you divide both sides of the equation by -5 to
-5 -5 make "y =" form
y = 16/5x + 33/5
The solution of this equation is x = 5 and x = 9.
<h3>What is the solution?</h3>
Let us recall that what we have here is a radical equation as follows;
√7x+1 - √x-5 = 6
When we isolate we have';
√7x+1 = √x-5+6
Taking the square of both sides;
(√7x+1)^2 = (√x-5+6)^2
Hence;
7x+1 = x-5+36+12√x-5
-12√x-5 = -7x-1+x-5+36
12√x-5 = 6x-30
Raising this equation to power 2
144x-720 = 36x^2-360x+900
When we rearrange we obtain;
36x2 - 504x + 1620 = 0
Hence;
x = 5 and x = 9
