306 \times 6\%=306 \times 0.06=18.36
306 gallons of milk containing 6% butterfat contain 18.36 gallons of butterfat.

x - the number of gallons of 7% milk
y - the number of gallons of 4% milk

x+y=306 \\
7\%x + 4\%y=18.36 \\ \\
x+y=306 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\times (-4) \\
0.07x+0.04y=18.36 \ \ \ \ |\times 100 \\ \\
-4x-4y=-1224 \\
\underline{7x+4y=1836 \ \ \ \ \ \ } \\
7x-4x=1836-1224 \\
3x=612 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\div 3 \\
x=204 \\ \\
x+y=306 \\
204+y=306 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  |-204 \\
y=102

204 gallons of 7% milk and 102 gallons of 4% milk should be used.

Solving Linear Equat<br> Solve the linear equation:<br> 3.4 + 2(9.7 – 4.8x) = 61.2
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3.4 + 2(9.7 + -4.8x) = 61.2

3.4 + (9.7 * 2 + -4.8x * 2) = 61.2

3.4 + (19.4 + -9.6x) = 61.2

Combine like terms: 3.4 + 19.4 = 22.8

22.8 + -9.6x = 61.2

Solving

22.8 + -9.6x = 61.2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-22.8' to each side of the equation.

22.8 + -22.8 + -9.6x = 61.2 + -22.8

Combine like terms: 22.8 + -22.8 = 0.0

0.0 + -9.6x = 61.2 + -22.8

-9.6x = 61.2 + -22.8

Combine like terms: 61.2 + -22.8 = 38.4

-9.6x = 38.4

Divide each side by '-9.6'.

x = -4

Simplifying

x = -4

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

During a stretch of 5 games, Stephen Curry averaged 42 points per game. In his first 4 games he scored 45, 48, 32, and 40 points
makkiz [27]
First, I will add up the know amount of points Chef Curry scored
45 + 48 + 32 + 40 = 165
To find the mean, add up all the numbers and divide that by how many values you had
I know 210 / 5 = 42, so I will subtract:
210 - 165 = 45
Cheer Curry scored 45 points
