Answer:

  • 273 mL of 5%
  • 117 mL of 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...

  0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)

  0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify

  q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10

  390-q = 273

The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>

You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.

<h2>x² = -3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In algebra, the goal is always to isolate the variable, so its value can be determined.

<h3>Step 1: Subtract 21</h3>

7x² = -21

<h3>Step 2: Divide by 7</h3>

x² = -3

<h3>Step 3: Check</h3>

7(-3) + 21 = 0

0 = 0 ✔

<h3>Step 4: Answer</h3>

x² = -3

Solve for x. -2(16 - 4x) - 8 = 6(x + 2)
Amanda [17]
So...

-2(16-4x)-8=6(x+2)             Multiply
-32+8x-8=6x+12                 Add like terms
-40+8x=6x+12                    Subtract 6x from both sides
-40+2x=12                          Add 40 to both sides
2x=52                                 Divide 2 from both sides
x=26                                   Substitute to check
-2(16-4(26))-8=6((26)+2)   Add and multiply in parenthesis
-2(-88)-8=6(28)                  Multiply
176-8=168                         Subtract
168=168                          

So x=26

I hope this helps! Have a great day!
