Answer:
x = 4, -2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
factors:
(2x + 5) (x - 4)
set each factor equal to zero:
2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2
x - 4 = 0
x = 4

Answer:
450 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the cost of the mixture 
must be the cost of the everyday moisturizing lotion 
plus the cost of the self-tanning lotion 
, which means 
.
The cost of any substance will be the cost per ounce of the substance (c), multiplied by the number of ounces (n), which means C=nc, so we have from the previous formula that we have:
But we also know that the number of ounces of the mixture must be the sum of the number of ounces of the everyday moisturizing lotion with the number of ounces of the self-tanning lotion, so we have
We want to calculate the number of ounces of the self-tanning lotion (
), so we solve for that variable:
And substitute our values in this formula, to get:
You want to solve for 'z'.
First combine like terms on either side of the equal sign.
Left side: 9z +2 ----> No like terms, leave alone
Right side: 6z - 10 -z - 4 ----> circle like terms and add
6z -z = 5z
-10 -4 = -14
Now the equation is:
9z + 2 = 5z - 14
Get all the 'z' terms on the left side and all the numbers on right side.
You can move a term to the other side if you flip the sign.
Move 5z to left side, flip the sign to -5z
Move '2' to right side, flip the sign to -2
9z - 5z = -2 -14
Add like terms
4z = -16
Divide by 4 on both sides
z = -4
