13 because you do 18-8 and you get 10 and divide that by 2 and you get 5 then add 5 to 8 and you get 13 and subtract 5 from 18 and you get 13 as well. Hope that helps

Since it's geometric, the ratio between the second and first term is equal to the ratio between the third and secons term.

So, x/18 = 8/x
x^2 = 144
So, x can be either 12, or -12

An animal feed to be mixed from soybean meal and oats must contain at least 168 lb of protein, 27 lb of fat, and 14 lb of minera

atroni [7]

Answer:

The animal farm should buy 1.775 bags of soybeans and 1.575 bags of oats

$Cost = 51.275$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters can be summarized as:

$\begin{array}{cccc}{} & {x} & {y} & {Total} & {Protein} & {70} & {21} & {168} &{Fats}& {9} & {7} & {27} & {Minerals} & {7} & {1} & {14}& {Cost} & {21} & {7} & {} \ \end{array}$

Where: x = Soybeans and y = Oats.

So, the system of equations are:

$70x + 21y = 168$

$9x +7y = 27$

$7x + y = 14$

$Cost = 21x + 7y$

The best way to solve this, is using graph

Plot the following equations on a graph, and get the points of intersection:

$70x + 21y = 168$

$9x +7y = 27$

$7x + y = 14$

From the attached graph, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (1.636,2.545)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)$

$(x_3,y_3) = (2.023,1.256)$

Substitute each of the values of x's and y's in the cost function to get the minimum cost:

$Cost = 21x + 7y$

$(x_1,y_1) = (1.636,2.545)$

$Cost = 21 * 1.636 + 7 * 2.545$

$Cost = 52.171$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)$

$Cost = 21 * 1.775 + 7 * 1.575$

$Cost = 48.3$

$(x_3,y_3) = (2.023,1.256)$

$Cost = 21 * 2.023 + 7 * 1.256$

$Cost = 51.275$

The values of x and y that gives the minimum cost is:

$(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)$

and the minimum cost is:

$Cost = 48.3$

Hence, the animal farm should buy 1.775 bags of soybeans and 1.575 bags of oats
