Answer:
5 bags of brand x and 6 bags of brand y.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nutrient requirement for the garden:
39 pounds of nutrient a and
16 pounds of nutrient b
Component of each bag of brand x:
3 pounds of nutrient a and 2 pounds of nutrient b
Therefore, 5 bags of brand x will contain 15 pounds of nutrient a and 10 pounds of nutrient b
Component of each bag of brand y:
4 pounds of nutrient a and 1 pound of nutrient b
Therefore, 6 bags of brand y will contain 24 pounds of nutrient a and 6 pounds of nutrient b
Altogether, she should buy 5 bags of brand x and 6 bags of brand y to meet the nutrient requirement of the garden
2p+6a=$14
3p+9a=$21
3p+9a=21
Subtract 9a
3p=21-9a
divide all by 3
p=7-3a
plug it into start equations
2p+6a=14
2(7-3a)+6a=14
14-6a....+6a=14
this zeroes out...
Answer:
(x - 6)(x + 4)(x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
since x = 6 is a root then (x - 6) is a factor
x³ - 4x² - 20x + 48 ÷ (x - 6)
= (x - 6)(x² + 2x - 8)
= (x - 6)(x + 4)(x - 2) ← factors of f(x)
