Answer:

the way to work these types of problems is to create a table. The table will have three rows and three columns.

The table:

Let x represent the kilograms of nuts, then 138 - x will represent the kilograms of bolts.

Product     Amount        Cost            Total

--------------------------------------------------------

  Nuts          x               .60         .60 * x

  Bolts      138 - x          .66         .66 * (138 - x)

  Mix          138             .65         .65 * (138)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation:

The nuts plus the bolts must equal the mix or:

.60 * x + .66 * (138 - x) = .65 * 138

I do not like to work with decimals, so multiply each term by 100:

60 * x + 66 * (138 - x) = 65 * 138

Remove the parenthesis and combine like terms:

-6x = -66 * 138 + 65 * 138

-6x = -138

Divide both sides by -6:

x = 23

Solution:

The mixture contains 23 kilograms of nuts.

The mixture contains 138 - 23, or 115 kilograms of bolts.

we are given

50=4(x-7)-6(3x-6)

Firstly , we can distribute

50=4x-28-18x+36

now, we can combine like terms

50=-14x+8

-14x=42

now, we can solve for x

and we get
