It’s 30 because you have to do the work in the parentheses first, then you apply it to the rest of the equation.
S=weight of soybean protein, C=weight of cornmeal protein.
Total weight of each protein is 0.18S+0.19C=0.17×360=61.2 lb.
Total weight of meal is S+C=360 lb. So S=360-C.
Therefore 0.18(360-C)+0.19C=61.2, 64.8-0.18C+0.19C=61.2, 0.01C=-3.6.
Clearly we would get a negative value for C. When you look at the question you will realise that there is a larger percentage of protein in the ingredients than there is in the mixture. The expected amount of protein in the mixture should be between 18% and 19%. Please check your figures.

(Decimal: -0.45)
Step-by-step explanation: 1/2 -1/4

= 1/-5 -1/4
=-1/5- 1/4
= -1/5 +-1/4
= -9/20
