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

Please help i don't understand!

Answer: 9. x=-3/2     10. x=2

                   x= 5/2           x=5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

9. Factor the equation:

How: put 4x^2 in the bottom left box and -15 in the upper right box.

then multiply 4x^2 x -15 = -60x^2 and put your answer in the top center box of the diamond.

Put the -4x from the equation in the bottom box. Then list out factors that multiply to the top box (-60x^2) and add to the bottom box (-4x) The two factors are -10 and 6

-10 x 6 = -60

-10 + 6 = -4

Put -12x and -5x in the remaining white boxes and find what numbers multiply to each.

I attached a picture. The colored dots correspond with each other.

Eg: Orange dot x orange dot = number in white square

Now you get the two factors (2x+3)(2x-5)

Set both of these equal to 0 and solve

0=2x+3     0=2x-5

x= -3/2       x= 5/2

Do the same for the other problem

Simplify the expression.<br> (x 3/2)6
Sliva [168]

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

(x ^ {\frac {3} {2}}) ^ 6

We have that by definition of properties of powers that is fulfilled:

(a ^ n) ^ m = a ^ {n * m}

Then, rewriting the expression:

x ^ {\frac {3 * 6} {2}} =\\x ^ {\frac {18} {2}} =\\x ^ 9

Answer:

(x^{\frac{3}{2}})^6=x^9

HELPPP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{0-2}{4-0} = \frac{-2}{4} = - \frac{1}{2}

the y- intercept is the value of y where the line crosses the y- axis , then

y- intercept = 2
