Answer:
The answer final
x1= -5; x2=9
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want me to expand on the equation leave me a comment :)
Let x be your first alloy
2/5x+7/10(30-x)=1/2(30)
4x+210-7x=150
3x=60
x=20
So, you need 20 lbs of the first alloy, and 10 parts of the second to make 30 lbs of half iron and half silver alloy!
Answer:
I cant tell is the 'x' is supposed to be a variable or a multiplication sign. IF its a multiplication sign then the answer is -30. Btu if its a variable then its in its simplest form there isn't any way to solve that equation.
Divide 3 by 8 (3/8)
Solution : 0.375
