How do you create your equations when working on a mixture word problem?

Let's try to think about the general form of a word problem involving mixtures.

In general, we have the following scenario:

a merchant sells two kinds of products (coffee, sweets, etc).

we know the unit prices for both kinds of products and for the final mixture

p

1

US dollars per pound for the first kind of product,

p

2

US dollars per pound for the second kind of product

p

m

US dollars per pound for the mixture

we know the total quantity formed by the mixture of the two products (

q

pounds)

we have to find out the quantities of each product needed to form the mixture

(here we have the variables:

x

denoting the quantity of the first kind of product and

y

denoting the quantity of the second kind of product)

Now, we have sufficient information to work out the equations.

First, we know that the sum of the two quantities is

q

pounds, which gives us the first equation:

x

+

y

=

q

Second, we know that the sale price is the product of quantity and unit price, which gives us the second equation:

p

1

x

+

p

2

y

=

p

m

⋅

q

Now, we have a system of two linear equations that can be easily solved by substitution.

Answer:

The correct option is C.

C) -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the term which is being divided is called a dividend. The term by which the dividend is getting divided is called a divisor. The quotient is the term we get after dividing the dividend by a divisor.

Here in this case, the dividend is written.

-x²    x    x

which in the equation form is written as

-x² + x + x

add the x terms to simplify

-x² + 2x

The divisor is given as x, divide the equation by x:

(-x² + 2x)/x

(-x²/x) + (2x/x)

-x+2

Which is the quotient.
