Answer:
The value of x is -31.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, follow the order of operations for solving equations. The step-by-step is listed below.
5(x - 4) + 2 = -173 ----> Subtract 2 from both sides
5(x - 4) = -175 ----> Divide both sides by 5
x - 4 = -35 ----> Add 4 to both sides
x = -31
3/4 *7
or
0.75*7
The answer is 5.25
I don’t know guat your sayin my friend my bad
Answer:
- 273 mL of 5%
- 117 mL of 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...
0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)
0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify
q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10
390-q = 273
The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.
