Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

4-2(x+7)=3(x+5)

Distribute

4 - 2x -14 = 3x +15

Combine like terms

-2x-10 = 3x+15

Add 2x to each side

-2x -10 +2x = 3x+2x+15

-10 =5x+15

Subtract 15 to each side

-10-15 =5x-15+15

-25 = 5x

Divide each side by 5

-25/5 = 5x/5

-5 =x

how many pounds of candy worth $12 per pound should be mixed with candy costing $19 per pound to produce a 70 pound mixture that
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

40 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of a candy (c_1)= \$ 12 per pound

           Cost of candy (c_2) = \$ 19\ per\ pound

           Total amount of mixture of be produced = 70\ pound

           Selling price of mixture = \$ 15 \ per\ pound

Let´s x be the amount of c_1 to be mixed in the mixture.

∴ Cost of c_1 in the mixture = 12x

Next, Cost of c_2 in the mixture = (70 - x)\times 19

And we know the cost of final mixture = 70 \times 15 = 1050

Now, putting all the value in the equation

⇒ 12x + 19 \times (70 - x) = 1050

⇒ 1330 - 7x = 1050

⇒ -7x = -280

∴ x = 40\ pound

∴ 40 pounds of candy worth $12 per pound to be mixed in the mixture.

A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals, and the animals have 66 legs in all. How many chickens does the farmer
hammer [34]

Answer:

27 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals

Both animals have a total of 66 legs

Let a represent the number of chicken

Let b represent the number of cows

a + b= 30........equation 1

Since a chicken has only two legs and a cow has four leg then, the expression can be represented as

2a + 4b= 66........equation 2

From equation 1

a + b= 30

a = 30-b

Substitute 30-b for a in equation 2

2a + 4b= 66

2(30-b) + 4b= 66

60 - 2b + 4b= 66

60 + 2b= 66

2b= 66-60

2b= 6

b= 6/2

b= 3

Substitute 3 for b in equation 1

a + b = 30

a + 3=30

a= 30-3

a= 27

Hence the farmer has 27 chickens
