Easy if you know the formula
all this means is that your x value is a, and when it is, will give you the value 26.
f(a) = 6a - 4 = 26
6a = 30
a = 5
Force = mass x exceleration
1100 x 0.5 = 550
When setting up the equation you have the initial fee and the hourly fee. The hourly fee is what must be multiplied by the number of hours which is our unknown
Let x = amount of 70% juice we use.
Then 60-x = amount of 85% juice we'll use.
We'll set up an equation that is based on how much pure juice comes from each component and how much we need in the final mixture.
So 70% of x plus 85% of (60-x) must equal 80% of 60, or...
0.7x + 0.85(60-x) = 0.8(60)
0.7x + 51 - 0.85x = 48
-0.15x + 51 = 48
-0.15x = -3
x = 20
Then 60 - x = 60 - 20 = 40
Check: 70% of 20 pints = 14 pints of pure juice.
85% of 40 pints = 34 pints of pure juice
That's 48 pints of pure juice in the mix, which matche 80% 0f 60 pints.
You'd need 20 pints of the 70% juice and 40 pints of the 85% juice.
