A potting mixture contains 12.0% peat moss and 6.00% vermiculite. How much peat moss and how much vermiculite must be added to 100lb of this mixture to produce a new mixture having 15.0% peat and 15.0% vermiculite?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 3% more peat and 9% more vermiculite.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the initial potting mixture is not given, but the percentage amounts of peat moss & vermiculite are given.

The weight of the new potting mixture is 100lb.

For the new mixture to have 15% peat and 15% vermiculite,

The amount of peat that must be added is 3% of the peat in the initial mixture.

Hint: subtract 12 from 15. Retain the percentage sign.

The amount of vermiculite that must be added is 9% of the vermiculite in the initial mixture.

Hint: subtract 6 from 15. Retain the percentage sign, as that is the scale of measurement here.

What does this equal too(2x-5)^2

Answers

Answer:

4x² - 20x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x-5)² means (2x-5)(2x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation:

[tex]3x -17=2x+35[/tex]

First we simplify the numbers.

[tex]3x -17+17=2x+35+17[/tex]

[tex]3x=2x+52[/tex]

[tex]3x-2x=2x-2x+52[/tex]

[tex]x=52[/tex]

Answer:

x = 52

General Formulas and Concepts:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

3x - 17 = 2x + 35

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract 2x on both sides:                           x - 17 = 35Add 17 to both sides:                                    x = 52

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute:                         3(52) - 17 = 2(52) + 35Multiply:                             156 - 17 = 104 + 35Subtract/Add:                    139 = 139

Answer: x > 6, x < -8

Subtract 4 from both sides.

Then simplify -17 - 4 to -21.

−3∣x+1∣<−21

Divide both sides by −3.

|x + 1| > -21/-3

Two negatives make a positive.

|x + 1| > 21/3

simplify 21/3 to 7

Break down the problem into these 2 equations.
