last one because you can solve it to many way6s
Ab = (7x-6) → b = (7x-6)/a (1)
bc = (12-2x) → b = (12-2x)/c (2)
Since (1) = (2) → (7x-6)/a = (12-2x)/c OR a/c = (7x-6)/(12-2x) (3)
Multiply both numerators of (3) by the SQUARE of their respective denominators;
(a*c²)/c = (7x-6)(12-2x)²/(12-2x)
Now simplify:
ac = (7x-6)(12x-2x) or ac = -14x² + 96x - 72
(2•7)-5
14-5= 9
So the answer is 9
So basically you are going to line up your equations (already done). Next, you will just add each term. So x + 3x = 4x, then 2y - 2y = 0 (we wouldn't put anything) then 7 - 3 = 4
So then we have all of our terms figured out and will have 4x = 4 then divide 4x by 4 to get x alone and then you will also divide the four that is by itself by four to equal one. So, your answer is x = 1. I hope that helps!
X = amount of seeds.
y = amount of dried fruits.
we know the snack mix contains both, and we know is 10oz, thus
x + y = 10, whatever ounces "x" and "y" are.
how much is it for "x" ounces if each one costs $1.5? well is just 1.5*x or
1.5x.
how much is it for "y" ounces if each one costs $2.5? well is just 2.5*x or
2.5x.
the mix contains 10 ounces, each of which costs $2.2 each, how much will it be then for 10 oz? well, is just 10 * 2.2, or $22.
since the whole 10 oz snack mix costs 22 bucks, then
1.5x + 2.5y = 22.

how many ounces of dried fruit is there anyway? well, y = 10 - x.
