<span>B. 16 quarts of the 2% milk and 24 quarts of the 7% milk
First, let's create an equation to solve.
x = quarts of 2% milk
(40-x) = quarts of 7% milk
So we have the equation
x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5
Now to solve for x
x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5
x*2 + 7*40 - 7*x = 40*5
x*2 - 7*x = 40*5 - 7*40
-5*x = - 2*40
x = 2*8
x = 16
So we need 16 quarts of 2% milk and 40-16 = 24 quarts of 7%, which matches option "B".</span>
The answer is
x=10+2y
Steps:
2(x-2y)=20
x-2y=20/2 (in fraction form 20/2)
x-2y=10
X=10+2y
Basically 1/2 equals 2 and times x equals 2x. X is a variable an unknown number so 2x +4 and that's how you get your answer
