Answer:

  • 10 liters of orange juice
  • 5 liters of champagne

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of liters of champagne Lauren uses. Then (15-c) will be the number of liters of orange juice. The total cost of the mix will be ...

  12c +1.50(15-c) = 5.00(15)

  10.5c = 52.50 . . . . . subtract 22.50, simplify

  52.50/10.5 = c = 5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of c

Then the amount of orange juice is ...

  15 -c = 15 -5 = 10 . . . . liters

Lauren should use 5 liters of champagne and 10 liters of orange juice.

Someone please Solve 3 (x - 1) = 6. Thank you

We have an equation with parentheses. To make our lives easier, first get rid of the parentheses. We do this by using the distributive property.

It is used like this: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Use the distributive property on the left-hand side.

3(x - 1) = 6
3x - 3 = 6

Now we have an equation that is easier.

The x variable is being multiplied by 3 and added to -3.
Reverse all of these operations with their inverse operation.

3x - 3 = 6
3x = 9 <--- I got rid of the -3 term by using the inverse of subtraction. Addition.
                  And I did the same for both sides to keep the equation true.
x = 3 <--- The inverse of multiplication is division.
                So, I divided both sides by 3.

So, x is equal to 3.
