Answer:
add x
Step-by-step explanation:
The operation "subtract 5" has eliminated the constant from the right side of the equation, so the next step would be to eliminate the variable from the left side. You do that by adding the opposite of the variable term.
The opposite of the term -x is x, so we "add x" as the next step.
This makes the solution look like ...
-x +6 = 5 -3x
-x +1 = -3x . . . . . . subtract 5
1 = -2x . . . . . . . . . add x
-1/2 = x . . . . . . . . .divide by -2

<em>Comment on this solution</em>
My preference is always to add the opposite of the variable term with the smallest coefficient. Here, that term is -3x, so I would add 3x as a first step. This leaves the only x-term with a <em>positive</em> coefficient, so can reduce errors in the solution.
Answer:
2x + 12y + 43 ≥ 40
17x + 12y + 8z ≥ 20
14x + 6y + z ≤ 50
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
z ≥ 0
Step-by-step explanation:
given:
Cost Eggs = $2
Cost of edema = $5
cost of elbow Macaroni = $3
Lets eggs = x,
edamame = y
elbow macaroni = z
TC = 2x+5y+3z
Therefore;
2x + 12y + 43 ≥ 40
17x + 12y + 8z ≥ 20
14x + 6y + z ≤ 50
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
z ≥ 0
the first objective is to make sure the total cost is subject to the required nutritional requirements.
So the total cost function (TC) is denoted by the number of servings multiplied for each costs. Eggs cost $2, edamame $5, and macaroni $3.
The problem subjects that each meal contains at least 40g of carbohydrates (this is the condition).
to get this we need to add what each meal component adds to the total, eggs add 2g of carbs, edamame 12g, and macaroni 43g.
Same should be done for protein, we require at least 20 grams of protein, Eggs add 17g, edamame adds 12g, and macaroni adds 8g.
and lastly we don't want more than 50 grams of fat, Eggs add 14g, edamame add 6g and macaroni 1g.
3.1415... is not a rational number because it is continuous.
Hope I helped :)
