I have to form a couple of equations in order to solve it.
let the amount of soybean in the mixture be x and that of cornmeal be y
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 280
y = 280 - x
x*(14/100) + y*(7/100) = 280*(12/100)
Multiplying the whole equation by 100;
14x + 7y = 3360
in this equation,put y = 280 - x
14x +7 (280-x) = 3360
14x +1960 - 7x = 3360
14x - 7x = 3360 - 1960
7x = 1400
x = 200lbs
y = 280 - x
= 280 - 200
= 80 lbs
Inorder to make a 280lbs mixture having 12% protein, we should mix 200lbs of soyabean and 80 lbs of cornmeal
The rule is that you add 1/16 each time. You can see this if you find the common denominator (16):
1/16, 2/16, 3/16, 4/16, 5/16, 6/16
Hey!
----------------------------------------------
Solution:
Remember to follow PEMDAS!
= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(2 + 1) ⋅ 5 + 8]
= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(3) ⋅ 5 + 8]
= 3 + 2 ⋅ [(15) + 8]
= 3 + 2 ⋅ [23]
= 3 + 46
= 49

Answer:
49

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
X+6=y thats the answer i got
