Define x and y
---------------------------------------------
Let x be the amount of the cream (which has 2.5% of hydrocortisone)
Let y be the amount of the water-washable base. (which has 0% of hydrocortisone)
---------------------------------------------
Construct the 2 equations:
---------------------------------------------
Both x and y must add up to 120g
⇒ x + y = 120
Both x and y must add up to only 1% of hydrocortisone.
⇒0.025x + 0.0y = 0.01 x 120
⇒0.025x = 1.2
---------------------------------------------
Solve x and y:
---------------------------------------------
x + y = 120 ----------------- (equation 1)
0.025x = 1.2 ----------------- (equation 2)
---------------------------------------------
From equation 2:
---------------------------------------------
0.025x = 1.2
x = 1.2 ÷ 0.025
x = 48
---------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 48 into equation 1:
---------------------------------------------
x + y = 120
48 + y = 120
y = 120 - 48
y = 72
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 48g of 2.5% of the cream and 72g of the water washable base are needed to make 120g of the prescription.

Answer:
The Communicative Property of Multiplication
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=-1
y=4
z=7
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + y - z= -6(1)
2x - y + 2z = 8(2)
4x + y - 3z = -21(3)
(1)+(2): 5x+z=2(4)
(2)+(3): 6x-z=-13(5)
(4)+(5): 11x=-11
x=-1
so z=2-5x=7
y=-6-3x+z=4
