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

Transversal cuts parallel lines and at points X and Y respectively. The point nearest to C is X, and the point nearest to D is Y
hammer [34]

Answer:  The answer is (B) ∠SYD.


Step-by-step explanation: As mentioned in the question, two parallel lines PQ and RS are drawn in the attached figure. The transversal CD cut the lines PQ and RS at the points X and Y respectively.

We are given four angles, out of which one should be chosen which is congruent to ∠CXP.

The angles lying on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two parallel lines are called alternate exterior angles.

For example, in the figure attached, ∠CXP, ∠SYD and ∠CXQ, ∠RYD are pairs of alternate exterior angles.

Now, the theorem of alternate exterior angles states that if the two lines are parallel having a transversal, then alternate exterior angles are congruent to each other.

Thus, we have

∠CXP ≅ ∠SYD.

So, option (B) is correct.
