Answer:
6 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
So set your equation up as
12(x)+20(6)=16(x+6)
You set it up this way because with the first number you know the percet but not the ounces so your ounces would be x. The second set you know percet and ounces (the percent will alway go outside the parenthesis). then the last number is waht it wil equal; again we know the percent but not the product. We put x+6 in the parenthesis because you are adding the ounces your don't know(x) wiht the ones you do (6).
To solve distribute
12x+120=16x+96
Now all you have to do is solve for x. Subtract the 96 over then subtract the 12x over, so it would look like this.
12x+120=16x+96
-96 -96
12x+24=16x
-12x -12x
24=4x Now simply divide by 4 and you get 6=x
There should be 6 ounces mixed in order to get the required solution.
Let the number of ounces be represented by x.
Based on the equation, the equation to use will be:
12(x) + 20(6) = 16(x + 6)
Expand the equation
12x + 120 = 16x + 96
Collect like terms
16x - 12x = 120 - 96
4x = 24
Divide both side by 4
4x/4 = 24/4
x = 6
Therefore, the number of ounces will be 6 ounces.
