Answer:

$SV=5\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In a parallelogram opposites sides are parallel and congruent

In this problem

$SV=TU$ ---> by opposite sides

substitute the given values

$x+3=4x-3$

solve for x

$4x-x=3+3\\3x=6\\x=2$

Find the length of SV

$SV=x+3$

substitute the value of x

$SV=2+3=5\ units$

A hog producer is feeding soybean meal and corn to his pigs. He needs to know how many pounds he needs to feed of each in order

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Feed 1, Soybean meal required = $\dfrac{2000}{3} \text{ lbs.}$

Feed 2, Corn meal required = $\dfrac{4000}{3} \text{ lbs.}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total feed is <em>1 ton</em> i.e. <em>2000 lbs</em>.

Let <em>x</em> be the amount of Feed 1 required.

Feed 1 has $45\%$ of protein.

$\text{Protein in Feed 1 = }x \times \dfrac{45}{100} ..... (1)$

Then, amount of Feed 2 required = $(2000 - x) \text{ lbs.}$

Feed 2 has $15\%$ of protein.

$\text{Protein in Feed 2 = }(2000 - x) \times \dfrac{15}{100} ..... (2)$

As per question, total protein required is $25\%$ of 2000 lbs .

Adding (1) and (2) and putting it equal to total protein required.

$\Rightarrow x \times \dfrac{45}{100} + (2000 - x) \times \dfrac{15}{100} = 2000 \times \dfrac{25}{100}\\\Rightarrow 45x + 30000 - 15x = 50000\\\Rightarrow 30x = 20000\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{2000}{3}$

Feed 1 required = $\dfrac{2000}{3}\text{ lbs .}$

Feed 2 required = $2000 - \dfrac{2000}{3}\\$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{4000}{3}\text{ lbs.}$

Help Solve for x. 1. -3x + 4 = 31

quester [9]

Answer:

1)-9

2)16

3)-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 4 = 31

-3x = 31 - 4

-3x = 27

-x = 27/3

-x = 9

x = -9

2x + -10 = 22

2x = 22 + 10

2x = 32

x = 32/2

x = 16

40 = 32 – 4r

-4r = 40 - 32

-4r = 8

-r = 8/4

-r = 2

r = -2
