Adrian went to the grocery store and purchased cans of soup and frozen dinners. Each can of soup has 350 mg of sodium and each f

rozen dinner has 700 mg of sodium. Adrian purchased a total of 9 cans of soup and frozen dinners which collectively contain 5250 mg of sodium. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of cans of soup purchased and the number of frozen dinners purchased. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer:

Adrian would have to purchase 9 cans and 3 frozen dinners.

step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the sodium is denoted by a variable "s"

Let us consider the can is denoted by a variable "c"

Each can of soup containing the sodium = s = 350 mg

Each frozen dinner containing the sodium = s = 700 mg

The number of cans purchased by Adrian = c = 9 cans

The total amount of sodium = 5250 mg

Total amount of sodium purchased by Adrian

in 9 cans = 9 × 35 = 3150 mg

Subtracting 5250 mg by 3150 mg will give 2100 mg

So, 5250 mg - 3150 mg = 2100 mg

Dividing 2100 mg by 700 mg of sodium of frozen sodium will give the value 3.

So, Adrian would have to purchase 3 frozen dinner.

<u>Hence, Adrian would have to purchase 9 cans and 3 frozen dinners to collectively contain 5250 mg of sodium.</u><u> </u>

Verification:

The total amount of sodium = 5250 mg

Total amount of sodium purchased by Adrian in 9

cans = 9 × 350 = 3150 mg

Total amount of sodium purchased by Adrian in 3 frozen dinners = 3 × 700 = 2100 mg

Total sodium = sodium purchased in cans + sodium purchased in frozen dinners

5250 = 3150 + 2100

5250 = 5250

A rectangle has an area of 8x2 - 2x - 45. The length of the

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$Width = W = 2x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Length of rectangle = L = $4x + 9$ ------->(Equation 1)

Area of rectangle = A = $8x^{2} - 2x -45$ square inches ------->(Equation 2)

To find out:

Width of rectangle = W = ?

Formula:

Area = A = L×W

$Width = W = \frac{A}{L}$

Solution:

$Width = W = \frac{A}{L}$

$Width = W = \frac{8x^{2} - 2x - 45 }{4x+9}$

For complete division check the attached image.

$Width = W = 2x-5$ inches

A large truck has two fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 150 gallons. Tank 1 is half full, and Tank 2 is empty.

12345 [234]

Answer:

1) $G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\$

2) After 8 minutes delivering fuel the tanks will have 121 gallons of fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

1) For generating the equation we have to take into account that in the tanks there is a initial volume of fuel that corresponds to 75 gallons, as it is stated that tank one is half full. As the capacity for tank 1 is of 150 gallons, half of the tank equals to:

$\frac{150}{2} = 75 gallons$

Now we have to convert the rate of delivery that is expressed as a mixed number to an improper fraction so:

$5\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(5x4)+3}{4} = \frac{23}{4}$

Then the pumping rate is of 23/4 gallons per minute, to get how many gallons are in the tank we just need to multiply this rate by the time in minutes, and as there is an initial volume we have to add it, so we have the following equation:

$G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\$

2) To know how much fuel is in the tank after 8 minutes we have to replace this time in the previous equation so we have

$G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\G(8) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}(8)\\G(8) = 75 + 23(2)\\G(8) = 75 + 46\\G(8) = 121 gallons$

After 8 minutes delivering fuel the tanks will have 121 gallons of fuel
