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

Find a cubic polynomial whose zeros are 1/2,1 and -3.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

2x³+3x²-8x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know x=½,x=1 and x=-3

Then (2x-1)(x-1)(x+3) are the factors

(2x-1)[(x²+3x-x-3)]

(2x-1)[(x²+2x-3)]

2x³+4x²-6x-x²-2x+3

2x³+3x²-8x+3

Find the value of x so that (x,-4) is on the line given by -2x + 3y = 6.
lord [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 3y = 6.....(x, -4)...so y = -4

-2x + 3(-4) = 6

-2x - 12 = 6

-2x = 6 + 12

-2x = 18

x = -18/2

x = -9

so the value of x is -9.....(-9,-4)

The inequality 10.45b + 56.50 < 292.67 is used to find the number of boxes (b) that can be loaded on a truck without exceedin
PSYCHO15rus [73]
We solve the inequality by subtracting 56.50 from both sides of the equation,
                                10.45b + 56.50 - 56.50 < 292.67 - 56.50 
                                        10.45b < 236.17
Then, divide both sides of the inequality by 10.45
                                             b < 22.6
The solution suggests that the number of boxes than can be loaded on a truck without exceeding the weight limit of the truck should always be lesser than 22.6. Since we are talking about number of boxes, the maximum number of boxes that can be loaded should only be 22.
