Can the sum of two mixed numbers be equal to 2

You were testing orange juice recipes it’s recipe calls for orange juice concentrate and water mix one has 4 cups of concentrate

Sav [38]

Answer:

First mixed is the most orangey.

Step-by-step explanation:

First:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=4\ cups\\\\Water=6\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=4+6=10\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{4}{10}\times 100=40\%$

Second:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=1\ cups\\\\Water=3\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=1+3=4\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%$

Third:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=2\ cups\\\\Water=4\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=2+4=6\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{2}{6}\times 100=33.33\%$

First mixed has highest percentage of orange juice. Hence first mixed is the most orangey.

4 tomatoes and 8 avocados cost $10. Six tomatoes and 14 avocados cost $17. How much does a single avocado and a single tomato co

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

One avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations where t is the number of tomatoes and a is the number of avocados:

4t + 8a = 10

6t + 14a = 17

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -2:

12t + 24a = 30

-12t - 28a = -34

Add them together and solve for a:

-4a = -4

a = 1

Plug in 1 as a into one of the equations and solve for t:

4t + 8a = 10

4t + 8(1) = 10

4t + 8 = 10

4t = 2

t = 0.5

So, one avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50

Can someone please explain to me how to do this?

OLga [1]

Answer:

1. (-10x -5) -(-7x -4)

2. (-10x -5) -(-3x -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of simplifying an expression generally involves eliminating parentheses, collecting terms, simplifying fractions, rationalizing denominators, removing appropriate factors from under radicals, and generally putting expressions into general form.

So, to accomplish what the problem is asking, you can create an expression that requires you accomplish as many or as few of these steps as you may like.

In general, you will want to both "do" and "undo" whatever operation(s) you may choose. For example, consider a couple of expressions "a" and "b". For this example, we want our final result to simplify to "a".

If we choose to add "b", we might have ...

(a+b) -b . . . . . we have both added and subtracted b, so the simplified result is "a"

If we choose to multiply by "b", we might have ...

(ab)/b . . . . . . we have both multiplied by b and divided by b, so the simplified result is again "a"

_____

We can solve both these problems at once by using ...

a = -3x -1
b = -7x -4

If we choose the first approach, we want an expression that is (a+b). That will be ...

a+b = (-3x -1) +(-7x -4) = -10x -5

By subtracting "b" from this expression, we get "a"--and vice versa. That is ...

(-10x -5) -(-7x -4) . . . simplifies to . . . -3x -1
(-10x -5) -(-3x -1) . . . simplifies to . . . -7x -4

_____

<em>Alternate solution to 2</em>

Suppose we choose to multiply instead. Let "b" be -3x+2. Then, using the template for multiplication above, we can write the expression

(-7x -4)(-3x +2)/(-3x +2) = (21x^2 -2x -8)/(-3x +2)

and we know this rational expression simplifies to -7x -4.

_____

Of course, we can be as elaborate as we might like in modifying the original expression. Whatever we do, we must also include the "undo" so the original expression is recovered when we simplify. To illustrate the point, we can add and subtract 2x from the above rational expression.

((21x^2 -2x -8)/(-3x +2) + 2x) - 2x = (21x^2 -2x -8 +2x(-3x +2))/(-3x +2) - 2x

= (21x^2 -2x -8 -6x^2 +4x)/(-3x +2) -2x

= (15x^2 +2x -8)/(-3x +2) -2x . . . . . . another alternate solution to #2.

If we're not careful, we can create an expression that is extremely difficult to simplify. The one we have here can be factored to be ...

(-5x -4)(-3x +2)/(-3x +2) -2x = -5x -4 -2x = -7x -4 . . . our original #2 expression

Knowing that it <em>can</em> be factored is a big help.
