x lbs * 5.5 + 100 lbs * 6.25 = (x+100) * 6.00

distribute

5.5x + 625 = 6x+600

subtract 5.5 x from each side

625 = .5x +600

subtract 600 from each side

25 = .5x

divide each side by .5

x = 100

You need 100 pounds of the 5.50 mix

Solve this equation for x: x^2+11x+28=0

lord [1]

Answer: x = -7 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation: When an equation has a squared term in it

such as x² + 11x + 28 = 0, it's called a polynomial equation.

The rule for solving a polynomial equation

is to first set it equal to zero, then factor.

Since this equation is already set equal to zero,

our first step is to factor the left side of the equation.

To factor x² + 11x + 28, we need the factors

of 28 that add to 11 which are 7 and 4.

So we have (x + 7)(x + 4) = 0.

Whenever two terms are multiplied together to equal zero,

this means that either one or the other must equal zero.

So if (x + 7)(x + 4) = 0, then either x + 7 = 0 or x + 4 = 0.

Solving each equation from here, we get x = -7 or x = -4.

So our solution is {-7, -4}.

What is X over 8 =9

Liula [17]

Answer: x = 72

Step-by-step explanation: Although the problem is saying "X over 8", this really signifies that the x is being divided by 8 which is what a fraction is, numerator divided by a denominator.

Let's first undo what has been done. Since our variable is being divided by 8, we'll undo that by multiplying by 8 on both sides. It's important to remember, whatever you do on one side,

you must do to the other side.

If you look now, the 8 in the numerator and the 8 in the denominator will divide out and it will leave us with our variable which is x. Working on the other side now, 9 x 8 is equal to 72 so x = 72 is our answer.

We can check our answer by plugging a 72 back into the original equation. So we have 72/8 = 9 which is a true statement

so our answer is correct.
