Was faced with a household math problem this morning, and was panicking a bit
at the prospect of iterating my way to a solution. Asked the AIs for help:

Math problem; I have 2% milk on hand, as well as 15% cream. My recipe calls for 1 cup of 3.5% milk. How much of each does that represent. I know immediately that 3/4 cup 2% and 1/4 cup 15% will give me a cup of 5.25% but I would like to be more precise. Please solve this, and provide the formula so I can use it in the future.
Been pondering the reasoning given to me by Copilot. Maybe it is because I have done a lot
of math in French, but I approach problem definition as below:
f(x) = x...doodaa which translates to... something is going to be done to x, and that something
is going to show up on the y-axis!!
f(x) = Ct - C2 / C1 - C2
= (3.5 - 15 )/( 2 -15)
= -11.5 / -13
= .8846 for the 2% milk
Which leaves (1 - .8846) for the cream, thus .1154
