Answer:
6kg pure copper and 30 kg 10% copper was mixed to give 36kg of 25% alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to produce 36 kg of 25% alloy
Let the Pure copper be x kg while 10% alloy be y kg
Pure copper is simply 100% copper
Thus;
x + y = 36 •••••(i)
Then;
100% of x + 10% of y = 25% of 36
= x + 0.1y = 9 •••••• ii)
From i x = 36-y
from ii, x = 9-0.1y
Equate both x
36-y = 9-0.1y
36-9 = 0.1y + y
0.9y = 27
y = 27/0.9
y = 30
x = 36-y
x = 36-30
x = 6 kg
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation: Let's go over a little algebra terminology.
The number in front of your variable is called your coefficient and a variable is just a letter that represents any number.
So here, your coefficient is 5 since it appears in front of the variable, x.
Not too sure what you're asking, but...
3(x+2) is the expression
The fraction 31/6 as a mixed number would be 5 1/6 because 6 goes into 31 5 times and you have 1 left over! So it would be 5 1/6. Hope that helps!
