Flauer [41]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first move the variables to one side.

We can do this by subtracting 6x from both sides.

12x^2-6x=0

Now, we can factor out 6x.

6x(2x-1)=0

Since it equals 0, we know that 2x-1=0, or 6x=0.

This is because when ab=0, either a or b must equal 0.

So we can set both of these equal to 0 to solve.

6x=0

Divide both sides by 6.

x=0

2x-1=0

Add 1 to both sides.

2x=1

Divide both sides by 2.

x=1/2

The Nuthouse offers a mixture of soy nuts and almonds, Almonds

elena55 [62]

Answer:

14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.

<h3>Solution</h3>

x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation

7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation

140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify

21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides

14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5

14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.

A chef uses 3 3/4 pounds of semolina flour and 1 5/8 pound whole wheat flour for each batch of pasta she makes.one week she uses

Maurinko [17]

It is to be noted that for this item, we more concern of the pounds of flour. The number of batches is calculated by dividing the total mass of flour used by the amount per batch. That is,
n = 86 lbs / (1 + 5/8 lbs/batch)
n = 52.92 batch
Thus, the chef makes approximately 53 batches of pasta.
