French roast beans. A bag of the special blend contains 100 grams of Colombian beans, 300 grams of Kenyan beans, and 200 grams of French roast beans. A bag of the gourmet blend contains 100 grams of Colombian beans, 200 grams of Kenyan beans, and 300 grams of French roast beans. The merchant has on hand 14 kilograms of Colombian beans, 18 kilograms of Kenyan beans, and 26 kilograms of French roast beans. If he wishes to use up all of the beans, how many bags of each type of blend can be made?

Answer:

  • 65 bags of House Blend
  • 30 bags of Special Blend
  • 45 bags of Gourmet Blend

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to use all the beans, the constraints can be written as equations in h, s, and g, the numbers of bags of the House, Special, and Gourmet blends that can be made from existing stock. If units are 0.1 kg, then the equations are ...

  h + s + g = 140

  h +2s +3g = 260

       3s +2g = 180

__

Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...

  s + 2g = 120 . . . . . . . derived fourth equation

Subtracting that from the third equation gives ...

  2s = 60

  s = 30

Then filling that back into the derived fourth equation, we have ...

  30 + 2g = 120

  g = (120 -30)/2 = 45

And substituting into the first equation gives ...

  h + 30 + 45 = 140

  h = 65

The merchant can use all of his beans making 65 bags of house blend, 30 bags of special blend, and 45 bags of gourmet blend.

Find the value of x which satisfies the following equation.<br> log2(x−1)+log2(x+5)=4
weqwewe [10]

\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = 3

____________________________________

\large \tt Solution  \: :

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  log_{2}(x - 1)  log_{2}(x + 5)  = 4

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  log_{2} \{(x - 1)(x + 5) \} = 4

[ log (x) + log (y) = log (xy) ]

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: ( x - 1)(x + 5) =  {2}^{4}

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  {x}^{2}  + 5x - x - 5 =  16

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  {x}^{2}  + 4x - 5 - 16 = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  {x}^{2}  + 4x -21 = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  {x}^{2}  + 7x - 3x - 21 = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  x(x + 7) - 3(x + 7) = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: (x + 7)(x - 3) = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x =  - 7 \:  \: or \:  \: x = 3

The only possible value of x is 3, since we can't operate logarithm with a negative integer in it.

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = 3
