Fiber X cereal is 55% fiber. Fiber Max cereal is 70% fiber. Sheldon combines an amount of the two cereals in a single bowl of mixed cereal that is 65% fiber. If the bowl contains a total of 12 ounces of cereal, how much of the cereal, in ounces, is Fiber X?

There are 4 ounces of Fiber X cereal in the mix

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets n be the amount of ounces of Fiber X in the mix. Since there are a total of 12 ounces in the mix, then, on terms of n, there are 12-n ounces of Fiber Max on it.

Since 65% of the mix is Fiber, then there are 12*0.65 = 7.8 ounces of Fiber. We can also obtain this value if we take the proportions of Fiber in each cereal of the mix (in terms of n), so that we can obtain the true value of n

we have

7.8 = n *0.55 + (12-n)*0.7 = 0.55n + 8.4 -0.7 n = 8.4-0.15n

Therefore

0.15 n = 0.6

n = 0.6/0.15 = 4

As a consecuence, there are 4 ouces of Fiber X cereal in the mix.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
