Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55 where x is the amount of 21% lotion needed

Given

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55

Open the parenthesis

0.21x + 0.85-0.05x > 2.55

Collect like terms

0.21x-0.05x+0.85>2.55

0.16x+0.85>2.55

0.16x>2.55-0.85

0.16x > 1.7

x > 1.7/0.16

x > 10.625

Hence she will need 21% lotion approximately greater than 10 ounces

Simplify the expression x^2+x-2/8x^2+4x/3x^2+10x+8
irina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + x  - 2 = x² - x +2x -2 = x(x - 1) + 2*(x-1)  = (x-1)(x+2)

8x² + 4x = 4x ( 2x + 1)

3x² + 10x + 8 = 3x² + 6x + 4x + 4*2  =3x  * (x + 2) + 4 * ( x + 2) = (x + 2)(3x + 4)
