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

Solve the equation <br>-88=2+2(5m-5)
const2013 [10]

-88 = 2 + 2(5m - 5)

Distribute 2 inside the parentheses.

-88 = 2 + 10m - 10

Combine like terms on the right side.

-88 = -8 + 10m

Add 8 to both sides.

-80 = 10m

Divide both sides by 10.

\boxed {m = -8}
