Remove 10 quarts from blue
5 parts blue 3 parts yellow
5 parts blue 3 parts yellow
5 parts blue 3 parts yellos
total: 15 parts blue
9 parts yellow
remove the remaining 10 parts blue, since you do not have any more yellow
- I’m assuming the expression implies the following:
(1-n)/(n^2 - 1)
The steps goes as follows:
= -(n-1)/(n^2-1) (factored a negative out)
= -(n-1)/[(n+1)(n-1)] (Factored denominator into a difference of squares, but don’t just blindly accept the fact, expand it and you should get the original denominator)
At this point, the (n-1) terms cancel, as you should know: a real number, besides 0, over itself is 1.
= -1/(n+1) , which is the answer
Note: You could also see it as 1/-(n+1) or 1/(-n-1)
Answer:
a=2, b=-20
Step-by-step explanation:
4(2xsquared -5x+3)= 8xsquared -20x +12
X: liters of 15% orange juice
y: liters of 10% orange juice
x+y=5L
y=5L - x
x liters of 15% orange juice plus y liters of 10% orange juice makes 5 liters of 12% orange juice in equation form:
0.15x+0.10y = 0.12(5L)
0.15x+0.10(5L-x)=0.12(5L)
0.15x+0.5-0.10x=0.6
0.05x=0.1L
x=2L
so y = 3L
so you need 2 liters of 15% orange juice and 3 liters of 10% orange juice
