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.

64 = 4(p + 2) + 24 please solve step by step
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -16 = -16

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -16  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   6 .

     -16    +    1    =    -15

     -8    +    2    =    -6

     -4    +    4    =    0

     -2    +    8    =    6    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -2  and  8

                    p2 - 2p + 8p - 16

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   p • (p-2)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   8 • (p-2)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (p+8)  •  (p-2)

            Which is the desired factorization
