Answer: 15 oz of 2% solution and 10 oz of 5% solution

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Set up a table with the given information. <em>Multiply across and add down</em>. The bottom row (Total) will provide the equation. Then, solve the equation for the variable (2% solution) and substitute that value into the quantity for the 5% solution to find that value.

\begin {array}{l|c|c||l}&Quantity&Percent&Qty\times Percent\\ Solution\ A&x&2\%=0.02&\qquad 0.02(x)=0.02x\\Solution\ B&25-x&5\%=0.05&0.05(25-x)=1.25-0.05x\\Total&25&3.2\%=0.032&0.02x+1.25-0.05x\\\end{array}  \\\\\\.\qquad 25(0.32) = 1.25-0.03x\\.\qquad \qquad -0.8 = 1.25 - 0.03x\\.\qquad \quad \ -0.45 = -.03x\\.\qquad \qquad \ 15 = x\\\\Solution\ A: x = 15\\Solution\ B: 25 - x = 25 - (15) = 10

Find the sum of 4x^3+2x^2-4x+3 and 7x^3-4x^2+7x+8
Alchen [17]

The sum means addition.

Add  the like terms together.

4x^3+2x^2-4x+3

+ 7x^3-4x^2+7x+8

4x^3 + 7x^3 = 11x^3

2x^2 + -4x^2 = -2x^2

-4x +7x = 3x

3 +8 = 11

The answer is : 11x^3 - 2x^2 + 3x + 11

A factory sells backpacks for $35 each. The cost to make 1 backpack is $15. In addition to the cost of making backpacks, the fac
Otrada [13]

Answer:9400 backpacks

\geqStep-by-step explanation

since the number of packs to be sold in a  is represented by x,

selling price for 1 week = 35x

cost price for 1 week = 15x

profit = 35x-15x = 20x

additional cost of production = 11,000

this implies that 20x - 11,000 \geq 7800

20x - 11,000 \geq 7,800

20x \geq 7800+ 11000

20x \geq 18,800

x \geq 18800/2

x \geq 9,400

at least 9,400 packs have to be sold each week to make a profit of $7800
