Solve for x in the equation p(m+qx)=rx+n

Mathematics

katrin [286]2 years ago

p(m+qx)=rx+n\\\\\implies pm+pqx = rx+n\\\\\implies pqx-rx = n-pm\\\\\implies x(pq -r) = n-pm\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{n-pm}{pq-r}

George has $49 which he decides to spend on x and y. commodity x costs $5 per unit and commodity y costs $11 per unit. he has th
FromTheMoon [43]

We are given the equations:

<span>5 x + 11 y = 49                    --> eqtn 1</span>

<span>u = 3 x^2 + 6 y^2               --> eqtn 2</span>

 

Rewrite eqtn 1 explicit to y:

11 y = 49 – 5 x

<span>y = (49 – 5x) / 11               --> eqtn 3</span>

 

Substitute eqtn 3 to eqtn 2:

u = 3 x^2 + 6 [(49 – 5x) / 11]^2

u = 3 x^2 + 6 [(2401 – 490 x + 25 x^2) / 121]

u = 3 x^2 + 14406/121 – 2940x/121 + 150x^2/121

u = 4.24 x^2 – 24.3 x + 119.06

Derive then set du/dx = 0 to get the maxima:

du/dx = 8.48 x – 24.3 = 0

solving for x:

8.48 x = 24.3

x = 2.87

 

so y is:

y = (49 – 5x) / 11 = (49 – 5*2.87) / 11

y = 3.15

 

Answer:

<span>George will choose some of each commodity but more y than x.</span>

A 5-gallon jug of cleaning solution contains 6% bleach. How much pure water should be added to it to dilute to 4% bleach?
mihalych1998 [28]
Let's bear in mind that 5 gallons with a solution of 6% bleach, contains some water plus some bleach, how much bleach?  well, is just 6% of 5 gallons or namely (6/100) * 5 gallons, or 0.30 gallons.

if we use "x" gallons of water, well pure water has no bleach, so is 0% bleach, and it has a (0/100) * x or 0x gallons of bleach.

the mixture will be say "y" gallons, and is 4% bleach, so (4/100) * y is 0.04y gallons in the mixture of bleach.

\bf \begin{array}{lcccl}&#10;&\stackrel{gallons}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of bleach}}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{gallons of bleach}}{amount}\\&#10;&------&------&------\\&#10;\textit{pure water}&x&0.00&0x\\&#10;\textit{6\% solution}&5&0.06&0.3\\&#10;-----&------&------&------\\&#10;mixture&y&0.04&0.04y&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;x+5=\boxed{y}\\&#10;0x+0.3=0.04y\\&#10;---------\\&#10;0.3=0.04\left( \boxed{x+5} \right)&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;0.3=0.04x+0.2\implies 0.1=0.04x\implies \cfrac{0.1}{0.04}=x\implies 2.5=x
