Answer:

138 gallons - milk containing 8% butterfat , 92 gallons -  milk containing 3% butterfat

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, find the quantity of butterfat in  the dairy needs of milk

230/100*6= 2.3*6=13.8 gallons of butterflat

1) Consider gallons each of milk containing 8% butterfat and milk containing 3%, suppose we need x gallons of milk containing 8 percents butterfat, then we need 230-x gallons of milk containing 3percent butterfat.

Then the quantity of the butterfat in the 8percents fat milk is x/100*8= 0.08x

the quantity of the butterfat in the 3percents fat milk is (230-x)/100*3=

=0.03 (230-x) = 6.9-0.03x The amount of butterfat of the both milk containing 8% butterfat and milk containing 3%is equal to 13.8 gallons

Then 0.08x+6.9-0.03x=13.8

0.05x=6.9

x=6.9/0.05= 138 -milk 8 percents

230-x= 230-138= 92

What are the x and y intercepts of 3y=2x-6
sasho [114]
How to find the x intercept of 3y=2x-6: (when y is 0)

3(0) = 2x - 6

     0 = 2x - 6
   +6        + 6
-------------------------
     6 = 2x
  ------ -----
     2     2
      
     x = 3


How to find the y intercept of 3y=2x-6: (when x  is 0)

 3y = 2(0) - 6

 y = 0 - 6

  3y = -6
------  -----
   3      3

   y = -2

Solve the system of equations using the substitution method. 2x+8y=4 x=−3y+5
goldenfox [79]
Since x=-3y+5, substitute x for -3y+5. 

2(-3y+5)+8y=4

Distribute. 

-6y+10+8y= 4

2y+10= 4

Subtract 10 on both sides. 

2y=-6

Divide by 2.

y=-3

Plug in y=-3. 

x=-3(-3)+5
x= 9+5
x=14

(14,-3)

We can check this. 

2(14)+8(-3)=4
28-24=4
4=4 <== this works

I hope this helps!
