Answer:

30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of tin in first alloy + amount of tin in second alloy = amount of tin in mixture

0.15 (20) + 0.10 x = 0.12 (20 + x)

3 + 0.10 x = 2.4 + 0.12 x

0.6 = 0.02 x

x = 30

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of a cone C = πr²h/3

C = 18π, h =2x, r = diameter/2 = 2x/2 =x

18π = π* x²* 2x/3

divide through by π

18 = x² * 2x/3

multiply through by 3

54 = 2x³

divide through by 2

27 = x³

x =∛27 = 3

x = 3 units = radius
