Answer:
Let y represents the ounces of first spice.
From the given statements, we draw a table as shown below:
ounces of spice Percentage ounces of salt
First spice y 3% 0.03x
Second spice 175 6% 175(0.06)
Final mixture y + 175 5% (x+15)(0.05)
Now, to solve for y
we have;
Final spice = First spice + second spice
Subtract 10.5 on both sides we have;
Simplify:
Subtract 0.05y on both sides
Simplify:
Divide both sides by -0.02, we get;
Therefore, 87.5 ounces of spices that is 3% salt should be added to 175 ounces of a spice that is 6% salt in order to make a spice that is 5% salt
Answer:
-13 -
+ 4p + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
I am having a little trouble reading the number. I think 5 is the question number and not part of the problem. I think this is the problem:
(4p - 6 - 3) - (8
+ 7
- 6) You take the opposite of everything inside the second set of parentheses. You can think of it as multiplying through by -1
4p - 6 - 3 - 8
- 7
+ 6 Now we combine like terms. That is the numbers with the same variable p and the same power of p.
-13 - 8
+ 4p + 3
