Answer:

Let +a+ = gallons of 55% antifreeze needed

Let +b+ = gallons of 95% antifreeze needed

-----------------------

(1) +a+%2B+b+=+160+

(2) +%28+.55a+%2B+.95b+%29+%2F+160+=+.85+

-----------------------------------

(2) +.55a+%2B+.95b+=+.85%2A160+

(2) +.55a+%2B+.95b+=+136+

(2) +55a+%2B+95b+=+13600+

(2) +11a+%2B+19b+=+2720+

----------------------------

Multiply both sides of (1) by +11+

and subtract (1) from (2)

(2) +11a+%2B+19b+=+2720+

(1) +-11a+-+11b+=+-1760+

---------------------------

 

+8b+=+960+

+b+=+120+

and

(1) +a+%2B+120+=+160+

(1) +a+=+40+

-------------------

40 gallons of 55% antifreeze are needed

120 gallons of 95% antifreeze are needed

--------------------------------------

check:

(2) +%28+.55a+%2B+.95b+%29+%2F+160+=+.85+

(2) +%28+.55%2A40+%2B+.95%2A120+%29+%2F+160+=+.85+

(2) +%28+22+%2B+114+%29+%2F+160+=+.85+

(2) +136+=+.85%2A160+

(2) +136+=+136+

OK

F(x)= 3x - 4x2 +6x and g(x)= 5x +2x2 – 3x. What is f(x) g(x)?
goldenfox [79]

f(x)g(x) = 9x² + 10x - 16

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

Step 1:

Given f(x) = 3x - 4 × 2 + 6x and g(x) = 5x + 2 × 2 - 3x

f(x) = 9x - 8

g(x) = 2x + 4

f(x)g(x) = (9x - 8)(2x + 4)

= 18x² + 36x - 16x -32

= 18x² + 20x - 32

= 9x² + 10x - 16
