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

3xsquare-9x-30=0<br> What’s the answer
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

x = - 2 or x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² - 9x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form

Divide all terms by 3

x² - 3x - 10 = 0

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 10) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)

The factors are - 5 and + 2, since

- 5 × 2 = - 10 and - 5 + 2 = - 3, thus

x² - 3x - 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
