Answer:
We need 540 grams of 0.5% hydrocortisone cream
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call x the amount of grams needed. This means that the combined cream will have 180+x grams. We want x such that
x * 0.005 + 180*0.025 = (180+x)*0.01
Hence
0.005x + 4.5 = 1,8+0.01x
Lets put the x in the same side and take common factor
4.5-1.8 = 0.01x-0.005x
2.7 = (0.01-0.005)x = 0.005x
As a result
x = 2.7*0.005 = 540
We need 540 grams.
Easy! Partial quotients is multiplying by ten
Both equations given in the question are the same. So there is no system to solve. It will just be a single line on the graph
