The amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 5% gold and 20% lead and the other which is 30% gold and 50% lead.

Let's suppose the x is the amount of the first alloy and y is the amount of the second alloy:

We can make two linear equation in two variables:

0.05x + 0.3y = 31.5  ...(1)

0.2x + 0.5y = 105  ...(2)

After solving the above two linear equations by substitution method, we get:

x = 450 grams

y = 30 grams

Thus, the amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.

Which number rounds to 15,700,000 when rounded to the nearest hundred thousand?. A) 15,000,000. B) 15,579,999. C) 15,649,999. D)
Artyom0805 [142]
<span>The correct answer is option D. i.e. 15,659,999. Now, this number is closest to the given number i.e. 15,700,000. Becuase when 659 is rounded to the nearest number of hiher value then its value will be 700. Thus,15,659, 999 rounds to 15,700,000 when rounded to the nearest hundred thousand.</span>

What is the solution to this system of equations?
maksim [4K]

Answer:x=3 y=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y=4

2x-2y=5

Add both equations together

x+2x+2y-2y=4+5

3x+0=9

3x=9

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3=9/3

x=3

Substitute x=3 in x+2y=4

x+2y=4

3+2y=4

Collect like terms

2y=4-3

2y=1

Divide both sides by 2

2y/2=1/2

y=1/2
