Answer:
12+xh
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
u = 156.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
31.25 = u/5
Step 2: Solve for <em>u</em>
- Multiply both sides by 5: 156.25 = u
- Rewrite: u = 156.25
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in u to verify it's a solution.</em>
31.25 = 156.25/5
31.25 = 31.25
Let x = cups of 11% wheat, and y = cups of 63% wheat
He wants 12 cups in total, so we need:
x + y = 12
These 12 cups need to have 50% wheat, which means we are looking at 12*.5 = 6 cups of wheat in total, so our second equation is:
.11x + .63y = 6
We have two equations and two variables. So we can solve by using any means you want. I used substitution:
x = 12 - y
.11(12-y) + .63y = 6
1.32 -.11y + .63y = 6
.52y = 4.68
y = 9
Which means x = 3
Thus, 3 cups of 11% and 9 cups of 63%.
Because the equation does not have a y-intercept, the first plotted point is at (0,0). From there, since the slope of the line is 3/4, you would count right 3 and move up 4. Plot the point and continue with the pattern. To get the left side of the line, move left 3 and down 4.
