Answer:
(5 - y) ^3 = 125 - 75y + 15y^2 - y^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial expression
1
1. 1
1. 2. 1
1. 3. 3. 1 --------power of 3
( 5 - y) ^3
( 5 - y) (5 - y) (5 - y)
( a + b) ^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3
a = 5
b = -y
( 5 - y) ^2 = ( 5 - y) (5 - y)
= 5( 5 - y) - y(5 - y)
= 25 - 5y - 5y + y^2
=(25-10y+y^2)
( 25 - 10y + y^2)( 5 - y)
= 5(25 - 10y + y^2) - y( 25 - 10y + y^2)
= 125 - 50y + 5y^2 - 25y + 10y^2 - y^3
Collect the like terms
= 125 - 50y - 25y + 5y^2 + 10y^2 - y^3
= 125 - 75y + 15y^2 - y^3
Let the weight of soymeal be s, and let the weight of cornmeal be c.
You need a total of 280 lb, so that gives us one equation.
s + c = 280
Now we use the protein to write another equation.
The protein in s lb of soymeal is 0.14s.
The protein in c lb of cornmeal is 0.07c.
The protein in 280 lb of 0.09% protein mix is 0.09(280).
This gives us a second equation.
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Now we solve the two equations as a system of equations.
s + c = 280
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Solve the first equation for s and plug in tot eh second equation.
s = 280 - c
0.14(280 - c) + 0.07c = 25.2
39.2 - 0.14c + 0.07c = 25.2
-0.07c = -14
c = 200
Now we substitute c = 200 in the first equation to find s.
s + 200 = 280
s = 80
Answer: 200 lb of soymeal and 80 lb of cornmeal
Answer:
0.3[x-2y] + 0.5x - y
Use the distributive property: a(b-c) = ab - ac
0.3x - 0.6y + 0.5x - y
Now, add/subtract all like terms
0.3x + 0.5x - 0.6y - y
0.8x - 1.6y
If you want, we can simplify that down further to:
0.8(x - 2y)
Answer: Choice A, x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 9x−(3x+9)=2x−25
2. 9x-3x-9=2x-25
3. 6x-9=2x-25
4. 6x-9=2x-25
-2x -2x
5. 4x-9=-25
+9 +9
6. 4x=-16 (divide both sides by 4)
7. x=-4
