Answer:

The usual size of the container is 15 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A protein mix claims to contain a bonus of 20% more mix than the usual size container.

Let the usual size of the container was x ounces.

They increase 20% of usual size and the bonus size is 18 ounces.

Therefore, the new size should be:

x+20\%x=18

x(1+0.20)=18 (∴20%=\frac{20}{100}=0.20)

x(1.20)=18

x=\frac{18}{1.20}

x=15

Hence, the usual size of the container is 15 ounces.

Can (5z+3)(-5z-3) result in a difference of squares
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

no, it cannot

Step-by-step explanation:

a difference of square is: a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

looking at the expression (5z+3)(-5z-3), we see that it does not fit the criteria of the breakdown of a perfect square, as (-5z-3) has a negative <em>a</em> term (-5z)

if we FOILed (5z+3)(-5z-3) out, we would get:

-25z² - 30z - 9, which is not a difference of squares

Jordana wrote the equation for a linear relationship as y = -8x-4. For what value of x is y equal to -16
victus00 [196]
So our two equations are y=-8x-4 and y=-16, and since in both equations, something equals the same y, those two are the same. So we can combine the two into -16=-8x-4. In the question, they are asking to solve for x. So to do that, you need to isolate your variable. Now for solving algebraic equations, you use reverse PEMDAS (SADMEP), meaning you add 4 to both sides to clear the -4 one the rights side to get -12=-8x. Then you divide both sides by -8 to get 12/8, which simplifies to 3/2.
