Answer:

c = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

14 = -2c - 6 - 3c

Step 2: Solve for <em>c</em>

  1. Combine like terms: 14 = -5c - 6
  2. Add 6 on both sides: 20 = -5c
  3. Divide both sides by -5: c = -4

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in c to verify it's a solution.</em>

14 = -2(-4) - 6 - 3(-4)

14 = 8 - 6 + 12

14 = 2 + 12

14 = 14

-2c-3c= -5c
14=-6-5c
Get 6 on the other side by adding 6 to itself and what you do to one side you do to the other.
20=-5c
Now divid each side by -5
C= -4

A butcher is mixing ground turkey breast that is 98% lean and beef that is 90% lean to make a blend that is 92.4% lean. Determin
Paul [167]
See brainly.com/question/8613376 for one way to work mixture problems.

The proportion of beef will be
.. (98 -92.4)/(98 -90) = 5.6/8 = 0.7

70 pounds of beef and 30 pounds of turkey are needed.

_____
1. I would prefer to use "t" and "b" as variables, rather than x and y. That way I can more easilly keep straight that they represent pounds of turkey and pounds of beef, respectively.

2. t + b = 100 . . . . . we want 100 pounds of mix

3. 98%*t +90%*b = 92.4%*100 . . . . . total pounds of lean meat

4. Using subsitution for t, we have
.. 98%*(100 -b) +90%*b = 92.4%*100
.. b*(98 -90) -98*100 = -92.4*100 . . . . . . multiply by -100, collect b terms
.. b = (98 -92.4)*100/(98 -90) . . . . . . . . . add 98*100 and divide by b coefficient
note that this expression is exactly the one we used to write down the answer above.
.. b = 5.6*100/8 = 70 . . . . . . . y, if you like
.. t = 100 -b = 30 . . . . . . . . . . x, if you like

70 pounds of beef and 30 pounds of turkey are needed.
