Answer:

750 grams of 60% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x = amount of 60% alloy and y = amount of 20% alloy

Equating the amounts of gold:

0.6x+0.2y = 1000(0.5)

Since there must be 1000 grams total:

x+y = 1000

Writing the 2 resulting equations together:

0.6x + 0.2y = 500

x + y = 1000

Multiply the first equation by 5:

3x + y = 2500

x + y = 1000

Subtracting the 2nd equation from the 1st:

2x = 1500

x = 750

Answer: 750 grams of 60% alloy

3 folders cost $2.91 dollar sign . Which equation would help determine the cost of 2 folders? WRITE THE LETTER IN THE SPACE BELO
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$1.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 3 folders = $2.91

We need to find the cost of 2 folders.

First we will find the cost of 1 folder

1 folder = $2.91/3 = $0.97

To find the cost of 2 folders, multiply $0.97 and 2

2 folders = $0.97 × 2

= $1.94

Hence, the cost of 2 olders is $1.94.

PLEASE HELP ASAP f(x) = x2 What is g(x)?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

c. g(x) = 4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From a first glance, since g(x), is skinnier than f(x), meaning that it is increasing faster, so I know that I can eliminate options A & B since the coefficient on x needs to be greater than 1.

We can then look and see that g(1) = 4 as shown by the point given to us on the graph.

To find the right answer we can find g(1) for options C & D and whichever one matches the point on the graph is our correct answer. e

Option C:

once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like

4(1)^2.

1^2 = 1, and 4(1) = 4,

so g(1) = 4. and our point is (1,4).

This is the same as the graph so this is the CORRECT answer.

If you want to double check, you can still find g(1) for option D and verify that it is the WRONG answer.

Option D:

once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like

16(1)^2

1^2 = 1, and 16(1) = 16,

so g(1) = 16. and our point is (1,16).

This is different than the graph so this is the WRONG answer.

Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 6. Either enter an exact answer in terms of pi or use 3.14 for pi
ankoles [38]
So it gives you the diameter but you need the radius of the circle to find the area so to find the radius you just divide the diameter by two. the formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2 so you just multiply 3.14 by 3 squared so you just put it in the calculator as A=3.14*3^2 and you get 28.26 hope this helped
