Answer:
160 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of bags of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein, y be the number of bags of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein and z be the number of bags of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein a dog breeder buys. He wants to make 300 pounds of a mix. Then
20x+17.5y+30z=300.
Now
- in 20x pounds of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein is 0.2·20x=4x pounds of protein;
- in 17.5y pounds of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein is 0.27·17.5y=4.725y pounds of protein;
- in 30z pounds of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein is 0.25·30z=7.5z pounds of protein;
- in 300 pounds of mix containing 22 percent protein is 0.22·300=66 pounds of protein.
Then 4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.
You get a system

From the first equation
Substitute it into the second equation:

Simplify it:

y must be divided by 20, then
- y=0, x=9, z=10-6=4;
- y=20, x=16, z is not a whole number;
- y=40, x=23, z is not a whole number;
- y=60, x=30, z=10-20-35<0;
- thus, all other possible z will be <0.
Answer: 9 bags with 1st mix, 0 bags with 2nd mix and 4 bags with 3rd mix.
X+6 is the answer to the question.
X^2 + 2x -8
The factors of 8 are 2 and 4, and to get 2x we need 2 and 4 to either add up to or subtract to result in 2.
4 - 2 = 2. We also know this is right because 4 x -2 = -8. So the answer is:
(x + 4)(x - 2)
For the answer to the question above, first, we must calculate the standard error. The standard error is standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample. In this case, it is equal to 0.178. The z-score has defined the distance from the sample to the population mean in units of standard error.
z = (3 – 2.5)/0.178 = 2.81
at this z-score, the probability is 0.9974 or
if rounded off it is 1%
