Put the problem into a proportion to make it easier to solve.
32 x
=
16 100
You can use cross products to simplify this proportion. Multiply 32 by 100, and set that number equal to 16 *x.
Your equation should now look like this
3200=16x
You are trying to get the variable alone on one side, so you should divide both sides by 16.
If this is performed correctly, then your final answer should be
x=200.

Answer:
63 Jelly Beans
Step-by-step explanation:
The unknown is the number of jelly beans originally in the bag or x
First he had x jelly beans
The he ate one-third of them
He then ate 16 more jelly beans
This was equal to 37 jelly beans
This is the equation
Now solve for x
Subtract 16 from both sides
Multiply both sides by 3
63 Jelly Beans
Answer:
A. -12
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph shows the vertices of the feasible region to be (0, 6), (3, 0) and (0, -3). Of these, the one that minimizes f(x, y) is (0, -3). The minimum value is ...
f(0, -3) = 3·0 + 4(-3) = -12
_____
<em>Comment on the graph</em>
Here, three regions overlap to form the region where solutions are feasible. By reversing the inequality in each of the constraints, <em>the feasible region shows up on the graph as a white space</em>, making it easier to identify. The corner of the feasible region that minimizes the objective function is the one at the bottom, at (0, -3).
