A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.
B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20
Add equations
x=5
Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15
Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers
Answer:
369.7 mL of medication
Step-by-step explanation:
How many mL of medication are needed to last 10 days if the dose of medication is 2.5 tsp TID (three times a day)?
From the above question,
The dosage of the medication =
2.5 tsp 3 times a day
= 2.5 × 3 = 7.5 tsp per day.
Since
1 day = 7.5 tsp
10 days = x tsp
Cross Multiply
x = 10 × 7.5 tsp
x = 75 tsp of medication for 10 days.
Step 2
It is important to note that:
1 tsp = 4.929 mL
75 tsp = x mL
Cross Multiply
x = 75 × 4.929 mL
x = 369.669 mL of medication
Approximately = 369.7 mL of medication
15-2x=3x
Add 2x to both sides
15=5x
Divide by 5 on both sides
3=x
Hope it helps (:
