standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient
Let the weight of soymeal be s, and let the weight of cornmeal be c.
You need a total of 280 lb, so that gives us one equation.
s + c = 280
Now we use the protein to write another equation.
The protein in s lb of soymeal is 0.14s.
The protein in c lb of cornmeal is 0.07c.
The protein in 280 lb of 0.09% protein mix is 0.09(280).
This gives us a second equation.
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Now we solve the two equations as a system of equations.
s + c = 280
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Solve the first equation for s and plug in tot eh second equation.
s = 280 - c
0.14(280 - c) + 0.07c = 25.2
39.2 - 0.14c + 0.07c = 25.2
-0.07c = -14
c = 200
Now we substitute c = 200 in the first equation to find s.
s + 200 = 280
s = 80
Answer: 200 lb of soymeal and 80 lb of cornmeal
Answer:
If a line is parallel to another line, the slopes of both lines are the same. So far the equation would be, y=7/6x+b. To find the value of b, you substitute the given point into the equation. -2=7/6(-1)+b, -2=-7/6+b, b=-5/6. So the equation of the line is y=7/6x-5/6.

Answer:
height of the tree is 30 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
a tree casts a shadow 42 feet long . at the same time, a person 5 feet tall casts a shadow 7 feet long.
shadow of a 5 feet tall person is 7 feet long
Let x be the height of the tree
shadow of a 42 feet tree is x feet long
Make a proportion
cross multiply
divide by 7 on both sides
x=30
So height of the tree is 30 feet
