Answer:

9 cans of soup and the 4 frozen dinners were purchased

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cans of soup purchased.

Let y represent the number of frozen dinners purchased.

Lincoln purchased a total of 13 cans of soup and frozen dinners. This means that

x + y = 13

Each can of soup has 250 mg of sodium and each frozen dinner has 550 mg of sodium. The 13 cans of soup and frozen dinners which he purchased collectively contain 4450 mg of sodium. This means that

250x + 550y = 4450 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 13 - y into equation 1, it becomes

250(13 - y) + 550y = 4450

3250 - 250y + 550y = 4450

- 250y + 550y = 4450 - 3250

300y = 1200

y = 1200/300

y = 4

Substituting y = 4 into x = 13 - y, it becomes

x = 13 - 4 = 9

Solve x^2=2x+3 by factoring
solong [7]

The solution is x = 1 and x = -3

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to solve the given equation by factoring

Given equation is:

x^2=2x + 3\\\\x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0

\text{Consider the form } x^2+bx+c

Find a pair of integers whose product is c and and whose sum is b

\text{Compare } x^2-2x-3 = 0 \text{ with } x^2+bx +c\\\\\text{We get } b = -2 \text{ and } c = -3

Now find, a pair of integers whose sum is -2 and product is -3

The integers that satisfies this condition is -1 and 3

When we add - 1 and 3 we get 2

When multiply -1 and 3 we get -3

Thus the pair of integers are -1 and 3

Write the factored form using these integers.

(x-1)(x+3) = 0

The Zero Product Property states that if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0, or both a and b are 0

Set the factors equal to 0

x - 1 = 0 \text{ and } x + 3 = 0

x = 1 and x = -3

Thus the solution is x = 1 and x = -3
