I would make the equation have both of your variables on the same side:
0.1x+y=1
Then I would use the cover-up method and say that
x-intercept= 10
y-intercept= 1
*Cover-Up Method: If you were finding the X-intercept, you would just ignore the y variable and divide your whole number by x.
In this case the whole number is 1. 1/0.1=10
Vice Versa with finding the Y-intercept
36÷4. 4 goes into 36, 9 times. Do your check work, which would be 9x4=36√. Hope that helps!
In order to solve the formula
in terms of d, you simply have to divide both sides by pi:
The total height of the earring is the sum of the diameters of the circles. Given their circumferences, the diameters are
So, the total height is
Let the weight of soymeal be s, and let the weight of cornmeal be c.
You need a total of 280 lb, so that gives us one equation.
s + c = 280
Now we use the protein to write another equation.
The protein in s lb of soymeal is 0.14s.
The protein in c lb of cornmeal is 0.07c.
The protein in 280 lb of 0.09% protein mix is 0.09(280).
This gives us a second equation.
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Now we solve the two equations as a system of equations.
s + c = 280
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Solve the first equation for s and plug in tot eh second equation.
s = 280 - c
0.14(280 - c) + 0.07c = 25.2
39.2 - 0.14c + 0.07c = 25.2
-0.07c = -14
c = 200
Now we substitute c = 200 in the first equation to find s.
s + 200 = 280
s = 80
Answer: 200 lb of soymeal and 80 lb of cornmeal
