SOLUTION - GIVEN = Sara has two bag with 60% & 28% peanut.
prove = How much the peanut is used to make 10 pound of 45%
peanut.
TO PROOF - Assume that
let x be the value of the peanut used by sara from the bag
60% peanut bag.
let ( 10 - x) be the value of peanut used by sara from 28% peanut
bag.
as given the bag become of the 10 pound which contain
45% of peanunt.
thus we have
0.60x + 0.28 ( 10 - x ) = 0.45 (10)
0.60x + 0.28 ( 10 -x ) = 4.5
0.60x + 2.8 - 0.28 x = 4.5
0.60x - 0.28x = 4.5 - 2.8
0.32x = 1.7
x = 5.3125 peanut is taken from the 60% bag.
& 4.6875 peanut from the 28% bag.
<span>Multiplication Property of –1</span>
The original value of x was negative, then –x, the opposite-signed version of x, would have to be positive. For instance, if I start with x = –3, then –x = –(–3) = +3, which is positive.
The answer would be: -0.125
