So.. let's say iron (f) plus potassium(k) plus mulch(m) all those quantities added together, whatever they are, add up to 19lbs
thus

f + k + m = 19

there is 16 times more mulch than iron, thus m = 16f
and twice as much as potassium, thus m = 2k

so   \bf f+k+m=19\qquad 
\begin{cases}
f=iron\\
k=potassium\\
m=mulch\\
--------------\\
m=16f\to \frac{m}{16}=\boxed{f}
\\\\
m=2k\to \frac{m}{2}=\boxed{k}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{m}{16}+\cfrac{m}{2}+m=19

solve for "m", to see how much mulch there is

how much iron?  well, m/16 = f

how much potassium?  well, m/2 = k

Answer:

  • 2b +2c
  • 35h +15m
  • ef +eg

Step-by-step explanation:

The outside factor multiplies each term in parentheses.

a) 2(b+c) = 2b +2c

b) 5(7h +3m) = 5×7h +5×3m = 35h +15m

c) e(f +g) = ef +eg

The daily cost of producing x high performance wheels for racing is given by the following​ function, where no more than 100 whe
algol [13]

Answer:

The production would be 25 wheels,

Lowest average cost is $ 123.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given cost function,

C(x) = 0.09x^3 - 4.5x^2 + 180x

Where,

x = number of wheel,

So, the average cost per wheel,

A(x) = \frac{C(x)}{x}=\frac{0.09x^3-4.5x^2 + 180x}{x}=0.09x^2 - 4.5x + 180

Differentiating with respect to x,

A'(x) = 0.18x - 4.5

Again differentiating with respect to x,

A''(x) = 0.18

For maxima or minima,

A'(x) = 0

0.18x - 4.5 = 0

0.18x = 4.5

\implies x = \frac{4.5}{0.18}=25

For x = 25, A''(x) = positive,

i.e. A(x) is maximum at x = 25.

Hence, the production would be 25 wheels for the lowest average cost per​ wheel.

And, lowest average cost,

A(x) = 0.09(25)² - 4.5(25) + 180 = $ 123.75

Only the smartest person in their math class can help me with this difficult problem!!!
vodomira [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

\tt{(5 {x}^{3}  - 3x + 6) - (2 {x}^{2}  - 4x + 8)}

While subtracting , the sign of each term of second expression changes & remove the parentheses.

⟶ \tt{5 {x}^{3}  - 3x + 6 - 2 {x}^{2}  + 4x - 8}

Combine like terms. Like terms are those which have the same base. Only coefficients of like terms can be added or subtracted.

⟶ \tt{5 {x}^{3}  - 3x + 4x + 6 - 8 - 2 {x}}^{2}

⟶ \tt{5 {x}^{3}  + x - 2 - 2 {x}^{2} }

In standard from , the expression should be written in such a way that the power of variables goes from highest to lowest.

\red{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer :  \boxed{ \tt{5 {x}^{3}  - 2 {x}^{2}  + x - 2}}}}}}

Hope I helped ! ♡

Have a wonderful day / night ! ツ
