How many pounds of mixed nuts that contain 70% peanuts must Shannon add to 15 pounds of mixed peanuts that contain 20% peanuts t

Mathematics

Degger [83]3 years ago

Answer:

10 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds be the amount of mixed nuts we require.

Amount of peanuts in this mix = 0.70x pounds. Amount of peanuts in the 20% mix = 0.20*15 = 3 pounds.

So we have the equation:-

0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)

0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)

0.70x + 3 = 0.40x + 6

0.70x - 0.40x = 6 - 3

0.30x = 3

x = 10.

Multiply the two mixed numbers 4 1/2 x 3 2/3 simplify your answer and write it as a mixed number
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: 16 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easiest to multiply improper fractions and then to convert them back into mixed numbers, so 4 1/2 would become 9/2 and 3 2/3 would become 11/3. \frac{9}{2} *\frac{11}{3}= 99/6. Now just simplify to 33/2 and then convert back into a mixed number.  16 1/2

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are -2 and 1, and whose leading coefficient is 4 .
Kaylis [27]

Answer: the equation is

4x^2 + 4x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is an equation in which the highest power of the unknown is 2.

The general form of a quadratic equation is expressed as

ax^2 + bx + c

Where

a is the leading coefficient

c is a constant

Assuming we want to write the quadratic equation in x, from the information given, the roots which are given are -2 and 1 and the leading coefficient is 4.

Therefore, the linear factors of the quadratic equation will be (x+2) and (x-1)

the equation becomes

(x+2)(x-1)

= x^2 - x +2x - 3

= x^2 + x - 3

Given a leading coefficient of 4, we will multiply the quadratic expression by 4. It becomes

4(x^2 + x - 3)

= 4x^2 + 4x - 12
