Question 778444
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


If *[tex \LARGE x] is the number of cans, and 790 is the number of cans and bottles, then the number of bottles must be *[tex \LARGE 790\ -\ x].  The weight of the cans is *[tex \LARGE 14x] and the weight of the bottles is *[tex \LARGE 70(790\ -\ x)].  So the equation that gives the total weight as a function of the number of cans is:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ W(x)\ =\ 14x\ +\ 70(790\ -\ x)]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi}\ +\ 1\ =\ 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
