X gallons contains x/100 gallons of fat
Y gallons contains 2Y/100 gallons of fat
Z gallons contains 3Z/100 gallons of fat
X+Y+Z gallons contains (X+2Y+3Z)/100 gallons of fat
Given that fat content is 1.5% of X+Y+Z gallons
Hence 0.015(X+Y+Z) = (X+2Y+3Z)/100
Solving for X gives X= Y+3Z

From the question, to prove if x^2-y^2>0 From 1, x^2-y^2 = 2y+1 So x^2-y^2>0 only if y>=0 But no other info given hence Insufficient From 2 x^y = x! +|y| Just looking at this piece of info, I feel that this information is more to help decide if y>=0 than to actually prove x^2-y^2>0 Since RHS is +ve ...

I'll give it a try: 1. When x is divided by 2y, the remainder is 4. => X = (Multiple of 2y) + 4 => X = (Multiple of y) + 4 => When x is divided by y, the remainder is 4. 2. When x +y is divided by y, the remainder is 4. (x+y)/y = x/y+y/y y/y will have remainder of 0, so the remainder 4 is from x/y I...
