Mathematics
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

n = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Convert words into an expression</u>

Number n is 25 less than 120% of itself. What is the value of n?

25 less than 120% of itself can be represented as:  <u>1.2n - 25</u>

n = 1.2n - 25

<u>Step 2:  Add Subtract 1.2 from both sides</u>

n - 1.2n = 1.2n - 25 - 1.2n

-0.2n = -25

<u>Step 3:  Divide both sides by -0.2</u>

-0.2n / -0.2 = -25 / -0.2

<em>n = 125</em>

<em />

Answer: n = 125

-4x + 6y = 12
x + 2y = -10

First solve for x in the second equation

x + 2y = -10
x = -10 - 2y

Now we have a value for x so we can substitute it into the other equation

-4 (-10 - 2y) + 6y = 12

Now solve for y

40 + 8y + 6y = 12
40 + 14y = 12
14y = -28
y = -2

Now we have a value for y that we can plug into one of the original equations so we can solve for x

x + 2y = -10
x + 2(-2) = -10
x - 4 = -10
x = -6

Your solution set is

(-6, -2)

soybean meal is 16% protein; cornmeal is 8% protein. how many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 320-lb mix
nlexa [21]

Answer:

120 lb of soybean meal

200 lb of cornmeal

Step-by-step explanation:

S = pounds of soybean meal

C = pounds of cornmeal

S + C = 320  →  C = 320 – S

0.16S + 0.08C = 0.11 × 320 = 35.2

16S + 8C = 3520

16S + 8(320 – S) = 3520

16S + 2560 – 8S = 3520

8S + 2560 = 3520

8S = 960

S = 120

C = 320 – 120 = 200

Simplify by finding the product of the polynomials below. Then Identify the degree of your answer. When typing your answer use t
nexus9112 [7]

Solution:

Given:

(2x^2+2x+1)(4x-1)

To get the product of the polynomial; we use the distributive property of multiplication.

a(b+c)=ab+ac

\begin{gathered} (4x-1)(2x^2+2x+1) \\ 4x(2x^2+2x+1)-1(2x^2+2x+1) \\ =8x^3+8x^2+4x-2x^2-2x-1 \\ \text{Collecting similar terms together and simplifying further;} \\ =8x^3+8x^2-2x^2+4x-2x-1 \\ =8x^3+6x^2+2x-1 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the product of the polynomials is;

8x^3+6x^2+2x-1
