Answer:Make the denominators the same

Step-by-step explanation:

find the least common denominator

As in find there least common multiple

Then multiply both numerators and denominators to find the common multipl

Example:

2/8 multiples: 8,16,24

5/6 multiples:6,12,18,24

Least common multiple is 24

So 8*3=24

2*3=6

So 2/8=6/24

6*4= 24

5*4=20

So 5/6=20/24

Then you subtract 20/24 by 6/24

Then your done:)

How much cream that is 30% butterfat must be mixed with milk that is 3% butterfat to make 45 gal of cream that is 12% butterfat?

Answer:

15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the gallons of 30% butterfat cream, and y is the gallons of 3% butterfat milk, then:

x + y = 45

0.30 x + 0.03 y = 0.12 (45)

Solve the system of equations with substitution or elimination. Using substitution:

0.30 x + 0.03 (45 − x) = 0.12 (45)

0.30 x + 1.35 − 0.03 x = 5.4

0.27 x = 4.05

x = 15

You need 15 gallons of 30% butterfat cream.

Y=4x+rx+6 solve for x

Irina-Kira [14]

$y=4x+rx+6$

$y-6=4x+rx

$ $Subtract \ 6 \ from \ both \ sides$

$y-6=x(4+r)

 
$ $Factor \ out \ the \ common \ term \ x$

$\dfrac{y-6}{4+r} =x$ $Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 4+r$
