Alotion is made from an oil blend costing $1.50 per ounce and glycerin costing $1.00 per ounce. four ounces of lotion costs $5.50. which value could replace x on the table? (4 – g) 1.5 (4 – g) + 1.5 4g – g(1.5) (4 – g)g

given : an oil blend costing = $1.50 per ounce.

glycerin costing = $1.00 per ounce.

in the given options g variable is taken.

so, let us assume number of ounces of glycerin = g ounces.

we are given, "four ounces of lotion costs $5.50."

therefore, total quantity of the lotion is given = 4 ounces.

expression for number of ounces of oil blend = total ounces of the lotion 4 - number of ounces of glycerin = (4 - g) ounces.

cost per for (4 - g) ounces of oil blend = number of ounces of oil blend * oil blend costing per ounce.

therefore, cost per for (4 - g) ounces of oil blend = (4-g)*1.50

therefore, (4-g)1.50 could replace x on the table.

therefore, first option   (4 – g) 1.5 is correct option.

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation
