Answer:
C: isolate the x squared by using inverse operations
Step-by-step explanation:
This method of solving quadratic equation is used when there is only x² term and no x term. Thus;
For example, we have a quadratic equation;
x² - 1 = 80
To solve this by square root method, the first step we have to take is to isolate the x² term by inverse operation which is by addition of 1 to both sides to get rid of the -1 on the left side so that x² can be isolated.
Decimal moves towards right!
Answer:
- 273 mL of 5%
- 117 mL of 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...
0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)
0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify
q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10
390-q = 273
The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 2y =10
x = 10 + 2y
... cancel like terms (y + 5)
= 4
