50 quarts of 5% butterfat and 1% butterfat milk are to be mixed.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
First, I will set up my table. I will fill in the unknowns with variables x and y.
The table is attached below
From the table attached below, we can easily set up the two equations.
<em>Sum of values of two milks = Value of mixture </em>
0.05x + 0.01y = 3
For convenience, we'll multiply the entire equation by 100,
5 x + y = 300 ------> (1)
Now, Sum of amounts of each acid = Amount of mixture
x + y = 100 ---------> (2)
Subtracting equation (2) from (1),
( + ) 5 x + y = 300
( − ) x - y = 100
− − − − − − − −
( = ) 4x + 0y = 200
Thus, 4x = 200
x = 50
Substituting x = 50 in (2),
( 50 ) + y = 100
y = 100 – 50 = 50
hence, 50 quarts of 5% butterfat and 1% butterfat milk are to be mixed.
An expression that represents the total calories for ‘n’ Big Macs is:
550n
Use the expression to solve the total calories in 17 Big Macs:
550(17) = 9350
THEREFORE, there are 9350 calories in 17 Big Macs.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u><em>Answer is below</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>10=3x-8</em></u>
<u><em>always remember to flip the equation</em></u>
<u><em>3x-8=10</em></u>
<u><em>Add 8 to both sides</em></u>
<u><em>3x-8(+8)=10(+8)</em></u>
<u><em>3x=18</em></u>
<u><em>Divide both sides by 3</em></u>
<u><em>3x/3=18/3</em></u>
<u><em>x=6</em></u>
