3(14 - 5x) = 16 - 12x

Distribute 3 throught the parentheses

42 - 15x = 16-12x

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

42 - 15x + 12x = 16

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 15x+12x=16 - 42

Collect like terms

- 3x =  - 26

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

\boxed{x =  \frac{26}{3} }

  • \sf \: 3(14 - 5x) = 16 - 12x

  • \sf \: 42 - 15x = 16 - 12x

  • \sf \:  - 15x + 12x = 16 - 42

  • \sf \:  - 3x =  - 26

  • \sf x =  \frac{ \cancel -26}{  \cancel- 3}

  • \large   \boxed{\sf \underline{ \color{green}x =  \frac{26}{ 3} }}

URGENT PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO CORRECT ANSWER ABC factory brought a pile of coal. If the factory burns 1500 kilogram
wolverine [178]

Solving a system of equations, we will see that there are 6000 kg of coal on the pile.

<h3>How many kilograms of coal are in the pile of coal?</h3>

Let's say that there are N kilograms of coal, and it is planned to burn it totally in D days, these are our variables.

We know that:

  • If the factory burns 1500 kilograms per day, it will finish burning the coal one day ahead of planned.
  • If it burns 1000 kilograms per day, it will take an additional day than planned.

Then we can write the system of equations:

(1500)*(D - 1) = N

(1000)*(D + 1) = N

Because N is already isolated in both sides, we can write this as:

(1500)*(D - 1) = N = (1000)*(D + 1)

Then we can solve for D:

(1500)*(D - 1) =  (1000)*(D + 1)

1500*D - 1500 = 1000*D + 1000

500*D = 2500

D = 2500/500 = 5

Now that we know the value of D, we can find N by replacing it in one of the two equations:

(1500)*(D - 1) = N

(1500)*(5 - 1) = N

(1500)*4= N = 6000

This means that there are 6000 kilograms of coal on the pile.

Stacey wishes to make a hamburger which is lower in fat without having to give up the great taste. She purchases 5 pounds of gro
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

%P = 8%

the percentage of fat in the mixture is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The percentage of fat in the mixture is;

%P = total mass of fat in mixture/total mass of mixture × 100%

%P = F/T × 100% ….....1

Mass of fat in mixture is;

She purchases 5 pounds of ground beef which is 15% fat

F1 = 15% of 5 pounds = 0.15×5 pounds

F1 = 0.75 pound

and combines it with 7 pounds of ground turkey which is only 3% fat

F2 = 3% of 7 pounds = 0.03 × 7

F2 = 0.21 pound

Total mass F = F1 + F2

F = 0.75+0.21

F = 0.96 pound

Total mass of mixture T = 5 + 7 pounds

T = 12 pounds.

From equation 1,

%P = F/T × 100%

%P = 0.96/12 × 100%

%P = 0.08×100%

%P = 8%

the percentage of fat in the mixture is 8%
