x lbs * 5.5 + 100 lbs * 6.25 = (x+100) * 6.00
distribute
5.5x + 625 = 6x+600
subtract 5.5 x from each side
625 = .5x +600
subtract 600 from each side
25 = .5x
divide each side by .5
x = 100
You need 100 pounds of the 5.50 mix

Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let S denote syntax errors and L denote logic errors.
Given that P(S) = 36% = 0.36, P(L) = 47% = 0.47, P(S ∪ L) = 56% = 0.56
a) The probability a program contains both error types = P(S ∩ L)
The probability that the programs contains only syntax error = P(S ∩ L') = P(S ∪ L) - P(L) = 56% - 47% = 9%
The probability that the programs contains only logic error = P(S' ∩ L) = P(S ∪ L) - P(S) = 56% - 36% = 20%
P(S ∩ L) = P(S ∪ L) - [P(S ∩ L') + P(S' ∩ L)] =56% - (9% + 20%) = 56% - 29% = 27%
b) Probability a program contains neither error type= P(S ∪ L)' = 1 - P(S ∪ L) = 1 - 0.56 = 0.44
c) The probability a program has logic errors, but not syntax errors = P(S' ∩ L) = P(S ∪ L) - P(S) = 56% - 36% = 20%
d) The probability a program either has no syntax errors or has no logic errors = P(S ∪ L)' = 1 - P(S ∪ L) = 1 - 0.56 = 0.44
6/8 simplifies to 3/4, so you have three 1/4 pieces.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a quadratic expression. Use the quadratic formula to find the roots, and then once you have the roots, write the corresponding factors.
The coefficients of this quadratic expression are a = 7, b = 5 and c = -3
The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 5^ - 4(7)(-3), or 25 + 84 = 109. Because this is positive, we know that the expression has two unequal, real roots.
Using the quadratic formula, we now find these roots:
-b ± √(discriminant)
x = -------------------------------- which here is:
2a
-5 ± √109
x = -----------------
14
The factors can be found from these two roots. The first one is
-5 - √109 5 + √109
(x - ---------------- ) = (x + ---------------- )
14 14
and the second is
5 - √109
(x + ---------------- )
14
