The number should be bigger than 2( 3,4,5,6....)

1st number=(x-1)

2nd number = x

2x<4(x-1)

2x<4x-4

-2x< -4

-x<-2

x>2

Example it could be 3

2x3 < 4(3-1)

6<4x2

6<8

A box contains 35 coins either nickels or dimes all worth $2.90. How many dimes are in the box?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

There are 23 dimes in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

Let nickels=n

Let dimes=(35-n)

Equation: 0.05n+0.10(35-n)=2.90

Multiply both sides by 100: 5n+10(35-n)=290

-5n+350=290

-5n=-60

n=12

35-12=23

Therefore, there are 23 dimes in the box

soymeal is 14 percent protein cornmeal is 7 percent protein how many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 280
erma4kov [3.2K]
Let the weight of soymeal be s, and let the weight of cornmeal be c.
You need a total of 280 lb, so that gives us one equation.

s + c = 280

Now we use the protein to write another equation.
The protein in s lb of soymeal is 0.14s.
The protein in c lb of cornmeal is 0.07c.
The protein in 280 lb of 0.09% protein mix is 0.09(280).
This gives us a second equation.

0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)

Now we solve the two equations as a system of equations.

s + c = 280
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)

Solve the first equation for s and plug in tot eh second equation.

s = 280 - c

0.14(280 - c) + 0.07c = 25.2

39.2 - 0.14c + 0.07c = 25.2

-0.07c = -14

c = 200

Now we substitute c = 200 in the first equation to find s.

s + 200 = 280

s = 80

Answer: 200 lb of soymeal and 80 lb of cornmeal

Solve (2x + 5)= (2x + 3)(2x - 1)
AlexFokin [52]

(2x + 5)= (2x + 3)(2x - 1)\\2x+5=4x^2-2x+6x-3\\4x^2-2x+6x-3-2x-5=0\\4x^2+2x-8=0\\(4x+1-\sqrt{33})( 4x+1+\sqrt{33})=0 \\ x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{33} }{4} /or/x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{33} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 per pound added with $4 per pound would become $3 per pound

x pounds plus 60 - x pounds will add up to 60 pounds
