FORMULA
D ( desired dose) x V ( vehicle- tablet or liquid)
H ( dose on hand)
D = Dose ordered
H = dose on hand or dose on container label
V = form and amount in which drug comes ( tablet, capsule, liquid)
D= 50mg H= 125mg V= 5ml
50 x 5
125
250 divided by 125 = 2ml
So, 2ml of elixir is administered every 12 hours :) brainliest pls
A better estimate would be something that is closer to one you had before...
Since the problem states "a number" and again "a number", I assume it;'s the same number. Let the number be x.
12x - 9x = 3x
The difference of twelve times a number and nine times a number is three times the number.
Factor out the common term; 3
(3(x + 1))^2 = 36
Use the Multiplication Distributive Property; (xy)^a = x^ay^a
3^2(x + 1)^2 = 36
Simplify 3^2 to 9
9(x + 1)^2 = 36
Divide both sides by 9
(x + 1)^2 = 36/9
Simplify 36/9 to 4
(x + 1)^2 = 4
Take the square root of both sides
x + 1 = √4
Since 2 * 2 = 4, the square root of 2 is 2
x + 1 = 2
Break down the problem into these 2 equations
x + 1 = 2
x + 1 = -2
Solve the first equation; x + 1 = 2
x = 1
Solve the second equation; x + 1 = -2
x = -3
Collect all solutions;
<u>x = 1, -3</u>
