The answer is negative 2.5 why because...
The answer is 26. 26 ounces per box o cereal.
Answer:
To obtain equivalent amount from both foods we can eat 10 ounces of Food I and 5 Ounces of food II
To obtain minimum cholesterol, the individual should eat only 21 ounces of food II and zero ounce of food for the daily supplement of the individual
Step-by-step explanation:
Food I contains 32×C + 10×E per ounce
Food II contains 20×C + 14×E
Here we have X × (Food I) + Y × (Food II) = 420 C + 170 E
32·X + 20·Y = 420 C
10·X + 14·Y = 170 E
Therefore
X = 10 and Y = 5
To minimize the cholesterol, we can increase amount of Food II to get
21 ounces of food II gives
420 units of vitamin E and 294 units of vitamin E with 273 units of cholesterol.
I would compute sqrt(1 + 160pi^2) first to get approximately 39.75093337
Add this to 1 and we have 40.75093337
Then divide over 2pi to get a final approximate result of 6.48571248
So x = 6.48571248 is one approximate solution
In short, I computed
only focusing on the plus for now.

If you were to compute
you should get roughly -6.167402596 as your other solution. Each solution can then be plugged into the original equation to check if you get 0 or not. You likely won't land exactly on 0 but you'll get close enough.
