Your goal is to isolate the x variable, so all you have to do here is subtract 6 on both sides.
Your final answer is x ≤ 2.
Hope this helps a lot! :)
Puting it into the quadrait equation ((-b+-[b^2-4ac]^(1/2)/2a), we get that x= 31^(1/2)-5 or 31^(1/2)+5
Answer:
Answers A (1/3), C (4/15) and D (5/6) are all repeating decimals.
Step-by-step explanation:
Repeating decimals are decimals in which a number or sequence of numbers is repeated over and over when dividing the numerator by the denominator of a fraction. For example, when you divide 1 by 3 (1/3), you will get a repeating decimal of 0.3333...since 3 goes into 10 three times with a remainder of 1 and will keep going. Likewise, when you divide 4/15, you get an initial value of 0.2, with a repeating 6, or 0.266666... Lastly, when you divide 5/6, you will get a repeating decimal of 0.833333.... The other answers will all be terminating decimals when you divide the numerator by the denominator. Terminating decimals mean the stop at some point and don't continue.
Let x be the number of bags of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein, y be the number of bags of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein and z be the number of bags of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein a dog breeder buys. He wants to make 300 pounds of a mix. Then
20x+17.5y+30z=300.
Now
- in 20x pounds of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein is 0.2·20x=4x pounds of protein;
- in 17.5y pounds of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein is 0.27·17.5y=4.725y pounds of protein;
- in 30z pounds of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein is 0.25·30z=7.5z pounds of protein;
- in 300 pounds of mix containing 22 percent protein is 0.22·300=66 pounds of protein.
Then 4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.
You get a system

From the first equation
Substitute it into the second equation:

Simplify it:

y must be divided by 20, then
- y=0, x=9, z=10-6=4;
- y=20, x=16, z is not a whole number;
- y=40, x=23, z is not a whole number;
- y=60, x=30, z=10-20-35<0;
- thus, all other possible z will be <0.
Answer: 9 bags with 1st mix, 0 bags with 2nd mix and 4 bags with 3rd mix.
