1)subtract 2 from both sides
-x<3x-6-2
2)subtract 3x from each side
-x-3x<-6-2
3)combine like terms (distributive property)
-4x<-8
4)divide each side by -4
x<2
*you may switch around the greater than/less than sign in step 4 depending on your teacher
Hope this could help!

Answer: 0.4 pounds of the trail mix is oats.

To find the answer, you can set up a proportion. We can use the percent proportion below.

part/whole = percent/100

x/2 = 20/100

To solve this you cross multiply and divide.

100x = 40
x = 0.4

we are given

system of equations

First equation is

$3x-2y=31$

Second equation is

$3x+2y=-1$

now, we can find augmented matrix

$A=\begin{pmatrix}3&-2&31\\ 3&2&-1\end{pmatrix}$

now, we can change it into reduced row echelon form

step-1: multiply the 1st row by 1/3

$A=\begin{pmatrix}1&-2/3&31/3\\ 3&2&-1\end{pmatrix}$

step-2:add -3 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

$A=\begin{pmatrix}1&-2/3&31/3\\ 0&4&-32\end{pmatrix}$

step-3:multiply the 2nd row by 1/4

$A=\begin{pmatrix}1&-2/3&31/3\\ 0&1&-8\end{pmatrix}$

step-4: add 2/3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

$A=\begin{pmatrix}1&0&5\\ 0&1&-8\end{pmatrix}$

so, we get

$x=5,y=-8$

Answer is (5,-8)
