If what you mean is what does x equal then X=30
Therefore
(4y+6) +y = 46
We can combine the like terms:
5y + 6 = 46
Subtract 6 on both sides:
5y+6-6=46-6
Therefore 5y =40
Divide by 5 on both sides
5y/5 = 40/5
Therefore
y= 8
We found y but to find the value x we use y.
X= 4y+6
Therefore
x= (4*8)+ 6
Therefore
x= 32 + 6
x= 38.
Answer: i'm pretty sure the first option is correct. she wrote it down correctly
Answer:
<em>36%</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
"8 kg of mixed nuts containing 26% peanuts"
weight of peanuts: 26% * 8 kg = 0.26 * 8 kg = 2.08 kg
"5 kg ... that contain 52% peanuts"
weight of peanuts: 52% * 5 kg = 0.52 * 5 kg = 2.6 kg
Total weight of peanuts: 2.08 kg + 2.6 kg = 4.68 kg
Total weight of mixed nuts: 8 kg + 5 kg
percent of peanuts: (4.68 kg)/(13 kg) * 100% = 36%
