Answer: 4, 1

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let the First Number be ‘x’
Let the Second Number be ‘y’

Framing 2 Equations :-

=> 3x + 2y = 14 (Eq. 1)
=> 2x - y = 7 (Eq. 2)

Multiplying Eq. 2 by 2 :-

=> 4x - 2y = 14 (Eq. 3)

Adding Eq. 1 and Eq. 3 we get :-

7x = 14 + 14
7x = 28
x = 28/7
=> x = 4

Therefore, x = 4

Substitute value of ‘x’ in Eq. 1 :-

3x + 2y = 14
3(4) + 2y = 14
12 + 2y = 14
2y = 14 - 12
2y = 2
y = 2/2
=> y = 1

Therefore, y = 1

Hence,
First Number = 4
Second Number = 1

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 25% copper and another alloy that is 60% copper.How many kilograms of each alloy should
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

20kg of 25% copper alloy

30kg of 60% copper alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 kinds of metal, first metal(A) have 25% copper while the second metal(B) has 60% copper. The metalworker want to create 50kg of metal, which means the total weight of both metals is 50kg (A+B = 50). The metalworker also want the metal made of a 46% which is 23kg(0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46*50). From these sentences, we can derive 2 equations. We can solve this with substitution.

A+B = 50

A= 50-B

Let's put the first equation into the second.

0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46 *50

0.25(50-B) + 0.6B =23

12.5 - 0.25B + 0.6B =23

0.35B=23 -12.5

B= 10.5/ 0.35= 30

Then we can solve A

A= 50-B

A= 50-30

A=20

Does anybody know this plz help.
MaRussiya [10]
So for this it's asking to multiply 10,000 glass beads by the length of 0.4 cm.

So to make it easier let's just make it a fraction.

This will make it 4/10 (because 0.4 is just 4 tenths of a whole number)

So now we can upscale the sizes to the proper ratio. This ratio being the thousands.

4000/10000

Meaning the answer is 4000cm in length.

Sophia uses 18 beads to make a necklace. Three sixths of the beads are purple. How many beads are purple?
joja [24]

Answer:

9 beads are purple

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many  beads are purple, multiply the total beads by the fraction of the beads that are purple

so

18(\frac{3}{6})=9\ beads

therefore

9 beads are purple

Another way to solve the problem is convert the fraction in percentage

we have

\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}=0.50*100=50\%

so

If the total are 18 beads

50% is 9 beads

therefore

9 beads are purple
