4:5 are not rotten
284/4 = 71
5x71 (out of the ratio 4:5) = 355
Therefore 284:355,
355 apples were harvested, 284 edible, 71 rotten

Answer:

${ \tt{ {9x}^{2} - {y}^{2} }} \\ = { \tt{( {3x)}^{2} - {y}^{2} }} \\ = { \tt{(3x - y)(3x + y)}}$

A butcher is mixing ground turkey breast that is 98% lean and beef that is 90% lean to make a blend that is 92.4% lean. Determin

Paul [167]

See brainly.com/question/8613376 for one way to work mixture problems.

The proportion of beef will be
.. (98 -92.4)/(98 -90) = 5.6/8 = 0.7

70 pounds of beef and 30 pounds of turkey are needed.

_____
1. I would prefer to use "t" and "b" as variables, rather than x and y. That way I can more easilly keep straight that they represent pounds of turkey and pounds of beef, respectively.

2. t + b = 100 . . . . . we want 100 pounds of mix

3. 98%*t +90%*b = 92.4%*100 . . . . . total pounds of lean meat

4. Using subsitution for t, we have
.. 98%*(100 -b) +90%*b = 92.4%*100
.. b*(98 -90) -98*100 = -92.4*100 . . . . . . multiply by -100, collect b terms
.. b = (98 -92.4)*100/(98 -90) . . . . . . . . . add 98*100 and divide by b coefficient
note that this expression is exactly the one we used to write down the answer above.
.. b = 5.6*100/8 = 70 . . . . . . . y, if you like
.. t = 100 -b = 30 . . . . . . . . . . x, if you like

70 pounds of beef and 30 pounds of turkey are needed.

Harry is trying to solve the equation 0 = 2x2 − x − 6 using the quadratic formula. He has made an error in one of the steps belo

bija089 [108]

<h3><u>Given</u> - </h3>

➙ a quadratic equation in which Harry lagged due to an error made by him, 2x² - x - 6= 0

<h3><u>To solve</u> - </h3>

➙ the given quadratic equation.

<h3><u>Concept applied</u> - </h3>

➙ We will apply the quadratic formula as given in the question. So, let's study about quadratic equation first because we are supposed to apply the formula in equation.

What is quadratic equation?

➙ A quadratic equation in the variable x is an equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers, a ≠ 0.

Now, what is quadratic formula?

➙The roots of a quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0 are given by $\sf{\:\frac{-b \pm\: \sqrt {b ^ 2 - 4ac}}{2a}}$ provided b - 4ac ≥ 0.

<h3><u>Solution</u> - </h3>

here as per the given quadratic equation,

a = 2, b = -1 and c = -6

putting in the formula,

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{-(-1) \pm\: \sqrt {(-1)^2 - 4(2)(-6)}}{2(2)}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: \sqrt {1+48}}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: \sqrt {49}}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 \pm\: 7}{4}}$

Solving one by one,

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 + \: 7}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{8}{4}}$

$\implies{\boxed{\bf{x=2}}}$

________________

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{1 - \: 7}{4}}$

$\implies\sf{x=\frac{-6}{4}}$

$\implies{\boxed{\bf{x=\frac{-3}{2}}}}$

________________________________

<em><u>Note</u> - Hey dear user!! You haven't provided the solution which was solved by Harry (A.T.Q). Please go through the solution as it will help you to find the error done by Harry.</em>

Hope it helps!! (:

Help me please <br> !!!!!!!!!!!!

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle Formed by Tangent and Secant = 1/2 (DIFFERENCE of Intercepted Arcs)

< WVT = 1/2 ( WT - UW)

3x+4 = 1/2 (( 14x +7) - (7x+11))

Distribute

3x+4 = 1/2 ( 14x +7 - 7x-11)

Combine like terms

3x+4 = 1/2 ( 7x -4 )

Multiply each side by 2

6x +8 = 7x-4

Subtract 6x from each side

+8 = x-4

Add 4 to each side

12 =x

WVT = 3x+4

= 3*12 +4

= 36+4

= 40
