X = grams of 4% cream

0.04x + 0.02(30) = 0.03(30+x)
0.04x + 0.6 = 0.9 + 0.03x
0.04x - 0.03x = 0.9 - 0.6
0.01x = 0.3
x = 0.3/0.01
x = 30 grams

3% concentration is exactly inbetween 2%-4% so it makes sense that a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of both would give 3% concentration.

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

8(4-x) = 7x + 2

1) Distribute : 32 - 8x = 7x + 2

2) Subtract 32 : -8x = 7x - 30

3) Subtract 7x : -15x = -30

4) Divide 15 : x = 2 :)

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The absolute value inequality to represent the situation is presented as follows;

\left | w -400  \right |

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The number of words Annika needs to write = 400 words

The absolute deviation of the number of words Annika needs to write = 10 words

When we let the number of words Annika write = w, we have;

The absolute value inequality given that the absolute deviation of the number of words is 10 is given as follows;

\left | w -400  \right |

Therefore we have;

\left | w -400  \right |  gives the statement, -10 < w - 400 < 10.
