Answer:

x = 6 1/4

y = 3 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = gallons of 6% nitrogen

let 'y' = gallons of 30% nitrogen

system of equations:

x + y = 10;  let y = 10-x

6x + 30y = 10(15)

substitute '10-x':

6x + 30(10-x) = 150

6x + 300 - 30x = 150

-24x = -150

x = 6 1/4

y = 3 3/4

Pedro has a bag of flour that weighs 9/10 pound. he uses 2/3 of the bag to make gravy. how many pounds of flour does pedro use t
BARSIC [14]
Here is the solution of the given problem above.
First, let's analyze the question. 
Given: 1 bag = 9/10 pound
            2/3 bag = ? pound
What we are going to do is to divide 9/10 pound to 3.
so 9/10 divided by 3 and we get 9/30 and to simplify that, 3/10.
So per 1/3 of the bag, there is 3/10 pound. 
To get the weight for 2/3 of the bag, we multiply 3/10 by 2 and we get 6/10 or to simplify it, it is 3/5. Therefore, the 2/3 bag weights 3/5 pound. Hope this answer helps.

Can you step by step solve 20x+12=4x-16
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

x = - \frac{7}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

20x + 12 = 4x - 16 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

16x + 12 = - 16 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

16x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = \frac{-28}{16} = - \frac{7}{4} [ = - 1.75 ]

Over [174]

Answer:

1 2/3 = m

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = m+3/5 -8/5

Combine terms

2/3 = m-5/5

2/3 = m -1

Add 1 to each side

2/3 +1 = m-1+1

2/3 +3/3 = m

5/3 = m

1 2/3 = m
