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

What is the value of x then find the messures of Angles M and N​
AveGali [126]

Answer:

x=32

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180

add up all angles and equate to 180

(4x-13)+(x+18)+15=180

5x=160

x=160/5=32

x+18  =   32+18    = 50

4x-13  =  4x32-13 = 128-13 = 115

add up all to check whether ans = 180;  15+50+115=180

Consider this quadratic equation:
zhenek [66]

Answer:

a=2

b=0

c=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax²+bx+c=0

Here's the given equation:

2x²+12=0

You might notice that the term bx is not there (there is just ax² and c). That means that b is 0.

The term 2x² is the term ax² in this equation. The coefficient in the term is 2, so that means that a is 2

12 has no variable, so that means it'll be c in the equation.

Hope this helps!
