Answer:
m = 
Step-by-step explanation:
m - 
= 1 - 
Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 2 and 3 ) to clear the fractions
6m - 3(m - 1) = 6 - 2(m - 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
6m - 3m + 3 = 6 - 2m + 4 , that is
3m + 3 = - 2m + 10 ( add 2m to both sides )
5m + 3 = 10 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
5m = 7 ( divide both sides by 5 )
m =
The first one YES and the last one NO!
Answer:
Adam needs 9/8 of a 5oz serving of shrimps (which equals to 5.625 oz) and 5/8 of a cup of brown rice (which is around 10 tablespoons).
Explanation:
You are given:
every serving of shrimp contains 2g of fat and 5mg of iron;
every serving of rice contains 6g of fat and 7mg of iron;
each meal should have 6g of total fat and 10mg of total iron.
You need to set a system of equation: let's call
s = quantity of shrimps
r = quantity of rice
The equation for the total fat will be: the quantity of fat in the serving of shrimps plus the quantity of fat in the serving of rice must be equal to 6g
2s + 6r = 6 (1)
Similarily:
the quantity of iron in the serving of shrimps plus the quantity of iron in the serving of rice must be equal to 10g
5s + 7r = 10 (2)
In order to solve the system, solve for s in equation (1):
s = (6-6r)/2 = 3 - 3r (3)
Substitute in equation (2):
5(3 - 3r) + 7r = 10
and solve for r:
15 - 15r + 7r = 10
8r = 5
r = 5/8
Substitute the value of r in equation (3):
s = 3 - 3×5/8 = 9/8
Therefore Adam would need 9/8 of a 5oz serving of shrimps and 5/8 of a 1 cup of brown rice for each meal.
Answer: In mathematics, the method of equating the coefficients is a way of solving a functional equation of two expressions such as polynomials for a number of unknown parameters. It relies on the fact that two expressions are identical precisely when corresponding coefficients are equal for each different type of term.

Hi!! What do you need help with? Solving the problems? Or understanding them? Also 1-9 is a bit blurry, so if you could retake it and repost it, I could solve for them. :). But if you don’t want to, don’t worry.
