Answer:
her supply has 18 pounds
Explanation:
Assume that the number of pounds in her supply is x.
We are given that:
She uses 1/3 x in salted mix and 2/9 x in unsalted mix.
This means that:
Total amount used = 1/3 x + 2/9 x = 5/9 x of her supply
Now, we are also given that:
She used 10 pounds of her supply.
This means that:
5/9 x = 10
5x = 9*10 = 90
x = 18 pounds
Hope this helps :)
Simplifying
15 + -5(4x + -7) = 50
Reorder the terms:
15 + -5(-7 + 4x) = 50
15 + (-7 * -5 + 4x * -5) = 50
15 + (35 + -20x) = 50
Combine like terms: 15 + 35 = 50
50 + -20x = 50
Add '-50' to each side of the equation.
50 + -50 + -20x = 50 + -50
Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0
0 + -20x = 50 + -50
-20x = 50 + -50
Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0
-20x = 0
Solving
-20x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '-20'.
x = 0.0
Simplifying
x = 0.0
I believe the correct answer choice is 1 because the only factors of 8 are 2 and 4 which dont factor in to 75 or 21
