The answer for that problem is z =12+6
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
x: the total mass of the chemical in the container
y: a sample of a chemical from a container
We have the following equation:
y = (3/10) x - 5 3/4
Then, for y = 39.1 we have:
39.1 = (3/10) x - 5 3/4
Clearing x:
(3/10) x = 39.1 + 5 3/4
(3/10) x = 44.85
x = (10/3) * (44.85)
x = 149.5 grams
Answer:
the total mass in grams of the chemical in the container before the scientist removed the sample of 39.1 grams was:
x = 149.5 grams.
4x - 5y = -15
y = -3x + 22
Plug in your y= equation into the y variable in the other equation
4x - 5 (y) = -15
^^
y = (-3x + 22) = -15
4x - 5 (-3x + 22) = -15
Distribute
4x + 15x - 110 = -15
Combine like terms and add 110 over to -15
19x = 95
Then, divide the whole equation by 19
x = 5
Then, plug in your x into your y= equation
y = -3 (5) + 22
y = -15 + 22
y = 7
<em><u>x = 5</u></em>
<em><u>y = 7</u></em>
<em><u>(5, 7)</u></em>
Step 1 = Distributive Property ( multiplying the 2 by each term in parenthesis)
Step 2 = Addition Property ( adding like terms)
Step 3 = Addition Property (adding 34x to each side)
Step 4 = Division Property. ( dividing both sides by 17)
18 cups, if you triple the amount without changing the percentage of strawberry, then the amount of strawberry yoghurt is also tripled
