Answer: 54.33%
<u>Explanation:</u>
14 carat gold contains 58.33% gold and 4% silver (since we are using the lowest percentage).
58.33% - 4% = 54.33%
There is 54.33% more gold than silver in the 14 carat gold mixture.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.
The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.
The system is
6h + 1d = 40
4h + 3d = 36
The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,
1d = 40 - 6h.
Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,
4h + 3d = 36 becomes
4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!
4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and
-14h = -84 so
h = 6.
That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:
1d = 40 - 6(6) and
d = 40 - 36 so
d = 4.
That means that each duck costs $4.
3x - 6y = 20
-6y = -3x + 20
y = 1/2x - 20/6.....slope = 1/2...y int = -20/6 = -10/3
2x - 4y = 3
-4y = -2x + 3
y = 1/2x - 3/4..slope = 1/2...y int = -3/4
same slope, different y int = parallel lines = no solution = inconsistent

Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
(4-2)³ = 8
so 8 - 3 x 4
is equal to -4
