Answer:
4 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
20 oz divided by 5 oz is 4 oz
X+Y=10
XY=-300
Solve for one of the variables
X=10-Y
Plug into the other equation
Y(10-Y)=-300
Now, you have a quadratic...
-y²-10y+300=0
I would multiply everything by -1, so there's no coefficient on y²
y²+10y-300=0
And solve...
-10±√(100-4(-300))
----------------------------
2
Y=-5±5√(13)
Plug back onto original equation...
X+(-5±5√(13))=10
X±5√(13)=15
X=15±5√(13)
Note: There are 2 sets of answers, keep the negatives with the negatives, and the positives with the positives when dealing with the ±.
There were 20 football players in the room. Because the ratio of football players to soccer players was 5 to 7, that meant that, should the ratio represent the actual number of football players in the room, there would be 12 football players in the room. However, the ratio has to be set equal to accomodate the 48 football players, therfore the 12 hypothetical players in the room would have to be multiplied by 4 to equalize. But that also means that everything else in the ratio will have to be multiplied by 4 to truly balance the ratio. Since there were 5 out of 12 football players, and there are actually 48 football players, and 12 times 4 equals 48, then 5 times 4 should give us our actual number of football players. Finally, some basic math will tell you that because 5 times 4 equals 20, and we can say that there are actually 20 football players in the room.
