Answer:

We need 540 grams of 0.5% hydrocortisone cream

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call x the amount of grams needed. This means that the combined cream will have 180+x grams. We want x such that

x * 0.005 + 180*0.025 = (180+x)*0.01

Hence

0.005x + 4.5 = 1,8+0.01x

Lets put the x in the same side and take common factor

4.5-1.8 = 0.01x-0.005x

2.7 = (0.01-0.005)x = 0.005x

As a result

x = 2.7*0.005 = 540

We need 540 grams.

The product of x and the sum of 6 and 8 times the square of x
Kamila [148]

Let's separate this problem into several parts:

1. The product of x

AND

2. The sum of 6 and 8

TIMES

3. The square of x

So translating this word problem into numbers, we have:

x TIMES (6+8) TIMES x²

so that is:

x * 14 * x²

which is:

14x^(2+1) = 14x³
