Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Cost of a candy =
per pound
Cost of candy
Total amount of mixture of be produced =
Selling price of mixture =
Let´s x be the amount of to be mixed in the mixture.
∴ Cost of in the mixture = 12x
Next, Cost of in the mixture =
And we know the cost of final mixture =
Now, putting all the value in the equation
⇒
⇒
⇒
∴
∴ 40 pounds of candy worth $12 per pound to be mixed in the mixture.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
ley y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject
y = - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )
y + 1 = ( multiply both sides by (x + 5)
(y + 1)(x + 5) = 1 ← expand factors using FOIL
xy + 5y + x + 5 = 1 , that is
xy + x + 5y + 5 = 1 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms on left side )
x(y + 1) + 5(y + 1) = 1 ← factor out (y + 1) from each term on left side
(y + 1)(x + 5) = 1 ( divide both sides by (y + 1) )
x + 5 = ( subtract 5 from both sides )
x = - 5
Change y back into terms of x with x = (x) , then
(x) =
- 5 where x ≠ - 1
