The number of pounds of copper in 120 pounds of brass is = 78 pounds of copper

<h3>Calculation of number of pounds of copper</h3>

The percentage of copper in the brass = 65%

Therefore the quantity of copper in the brass = 65/100= 0.65 pounds

This means that 1 pound brass contains = 0.65 pounds of copper

The quantity of copper in 120 pounds of brass = 120 * 0.65

                                                                             = 78 pounds of copper.

By applying algebraic handling on the two equations, we find the following three <em>solution</em> pairs: x₁ ≈ 5.693 ,y₁ ≈ 10.693; x₂ ≈ 1.430, y₂ ≈ 6.430; x₃ ≈ - 0.737, y₃ ≈ 4.263.

<h3>How to solve a system of equations</h3>

In this question we have a system formed by a <em>linear</em> equation and a <em>non-linear</em> equation, both with no <em>trascendent</em> elements and whose solution can be found easily by algebraic handling:

x - y = 5      (1)

x² · y = 5 · x + 6       (2)

By (1):

y = x + 5

By substituting on (2):

x² · (x + 5) = 5 · x + 6

x³ + 5 · x² - 5 · x - 6 = 0

(x + 5.693) · (x - 1.430) · (x + 0.737) = 0

There are three solutions: x₁ ≈ 5.693, x₂ ≈ 1.430, x₃ ≈ - 0.737

And the y-values are found by evaluating on (1):

y = x + 5

x₁ ≈ 5.693

y₁ ≈ 10.693

x₂ ≈ 1.430

y₂ ≈ 6.430

x₃ ≈ - 0.737

y₃ ≈ 4.263

By applying algebraic handling on the two equations, we find the following three <em>solution</em> pairs: x₁ ≈ 5.693 ,y₁ ≈ 10.693; x₂ ≈ 1.430, y₂ ≈ 6.430; x₃ ≈ - 0.737, y₃ ≈ 4.263.

The center of a circle is (4, 6), and an endpoint of a diameter is (2, 5). What is the other endpoint of the diameter?
valentinak56 [21]
Consider this option:
1. if the point (4;6) is the centre of the circle and the point (2;5) is the first endpoint of its diameter, then point (4;6) is the middle point of the diameter (it means that is the middle between the 1st and the 2d endpoints of diameter).
2. using the property described above:
for x of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: x=4*2-2=6;
for y of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: y=6*2-5=7.

answer: (6;7)

Answer:

x=4.8

This here you use Pythagorean Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

The longest side is c. And the two legs are a and b.

So it'd be 11^2+x^2=12^2

121+x^2=144

Subtract 121 from both sides.

x^2=23

Then take the √ of x^2 and 23

So √x^2=√23

x=4.8

Hope this helps
