Define x and y
---------------------------------------------
Let x be the amount of the cream (which has 2.5% of hydrocortisone)
Let y be the amount of the water-washable base. (which has 0% of hydrocortisone)
---------------------------------------------
Construct the 2 equations:
---------------------------------------------
Both x and y must add up to 120g
⇒ x + y = 120
Both x and y must add up to only 1% of hydrocortisone.
⇒0.025x + 0.0y = 0.01 x 120
⇒0.025x = 1.2
---------------------------------------------
Solve x and y:
---------------------------------------------
x + y = 120 ----------------- (equation 1)
0.025x = 1.2 ----------------- (equation 2)
---------------------------------------------
From equation 2:
---------------------------------------------
0.025x = 1.2
x = 1.2 ÷ 0.025
x = 48
---------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 48 into equation 1:
---------------------------------------------
x + y = 120
48 + y = 120
y = 120 - 48
y = 72
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 48g of 2.5% of the cream and 72g of the water washable base are needed to make 120g of the prescription.

Answer:
UW = EW+UE=2×EW because, EW=UE
7x-2=2×6= 12
7x=14
x=14/7
x=2
<h2>2 is the right answer.</h2>
x + 80 = 180 - (64 + 36)
x + 80 = 180 - 100
x + 80 = 80
x = 0
<h2>0 is the right answer.</h2>
Answer:
8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for a, we can use cross multiplication! So 9a=24 or a=24/9 or 8/3.
I am pretty sure the answer is z
He burns off 750 calories every 3 hours. 250 multiplied my 3 is 750. 3 being the hours and 250 being the calories burned every hour
