whatever the amounts of "x" and "y" are, they must add up to 5Liters
thus x + y = 5
and whatever the concentrated quantity is in each, they must add up to (5)(0.14)
notice, that we use the decimal notation for the amount of juice concentration, that is, 15% is just 15/100 or 0.15, and 14% is just 14/100 or 0.14 and so on, recall that "whatever% of something" is just (whatever/100)*something
thus
solve for "x", to see how much of the 15% juice will be needed
what about "y"? well, y = 5 - x
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
We must first make each fraction have a common denominator, this will be 12
2/3 * 4/4 = 8/12
3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12
4/2 * 6/6 = 24/12
we can then add the numerators of each fraction
8 + 9 + 24 = 41
so our answer is 41/12
we can not simplify any further and thus get
41/12
Cost of 32 ounces yoghurt = $1.62
Cost of 1 ounce = $1.62/32 = $0.05 (approx)
You get imaginary roots for this equation.
x=4-5i
x=4+5i
