You can use a calculator, or use long division
Did you add the picture of the table? I do not see it :(
(2x - 5) (5x - 10)
Use FOIL
10x² - 20x - 25x + 50
10x² - 45x + 50
5( 2x² - 9x + 10)
2x -5
x -2
5(2x - 5)(x -2)
make each equal to 0
2x - 5 = 0
x - 2 = 0
2x - 5 = 0 x - 2 = 0
2x - 5 (+5) = 0 x - 2 (+2) = 0 (+2)
2x = 5 x = 2
x = 5/2
x = 5/2 , 2
hope this helps
Set up your two equations:
<span>9x+7y=53 </span>
<span>3x+5y=25 </span>
<span>X=cost per pound of jelly bean </span>
<span>Y=cost per pound of trail mix </span>
<span>Multiply the second equation by (-3): </span>
<span>-9x-15y=-75 </span>
<span>+ 9x+7y=53 <---- copy first equation and add them </span>
<span>—————— </span>
<span>0x-8y=-22 </span>
<span>Then solve for y: </span>
<span>Y=2.76 this is your cost per pound of trail mix. </span>
<span>Then plug y back in to one of the original equations and solve for x: </span>
<span>3x+7(2.75)=25 </span>
<span>X=3.75 this is you cost per pound of jelly beans</span>
Add the three different amounts she gets to find the total:
450 + 300 + 500 = 1250 mg total.
1250 is greater than 1200, so yes, she is getting enough.
