Silver = 10%
Gold = 90%

Amount of gold to be deducted
90/100 × 18 = 16.2 g

75/100 × 18 = 13.5

16.2 - 13.5 = 2.7

Amount o silver to added.
  2.7 × 5 = 13.5


Answer = 13.5 g

X^2+9x+20 divided by x+5
tangare [24]

Answer:

 x ≠ -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way is to factor the numerator.

 

x2 + 9x + 20 = (x + 4)(x + 5)

 

Then

 

(x2 + 9x + 20)/(x + 5) = (x + 4)(x + 5) / (x + 5) = x + 4,

 

with the restriction that x ≠ -5

If 1900 square centimeters of material are available to make a box with a square base and an open top, find the largest possible
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Volume = 7969 cubic centimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of each side of the base of the box  be A and the height of the box be H.

Area of material required to make the box  is equal to  is A^2 + 4*A*H.

A^2 + 4*A*H = 1900

 Rearranging the above equation, we get -  

`H = \frac{(1900 - A^2)}{(4*A)}

Volume of box is equal to product of base area of box and the height of the box -  

V = A*A* H

Substituting the given area we get -

\frac{A^2*(1900 - A^2)}{4A} = \frac{(1900*A - A^3)}{4}

For maximum volume

\frac{dV}{dA} =0

\frac{ 1900}{4} - \frac{3*A^2}{4} = 0

A^2 = \frac{1900}{3}

Volume of the box

= \frac{\frac{1900}{3}*(1900 - \frac{1900}{3}) }{4 * \sqrt{\frac{1900}{3} } }

= 7969 cubic centimeter

What is the value of (2x^2-5x+4)if x =7
Troyanec [42]
<span>We have to use PEMDAS for this expression.

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

</span>(2x^2 - 5x + 4)                    Original Mathematical Expression

[2(7)^2 - 5(7) + 4]                 Plugging the value of x, 7 into expression.

There are parentheses, so that means we have to work in them.

There are exponents, so we have to do those first.

[2(49) - 5(7) +4]                    Exponents.

There is multiplication, that we can do, so we do that left to right.

[98 - 35 + 4]                         Multiplication.

There is no division.

There is addition and subtraction, so we do those left to right.

[63 + 4]                                Subtraction.

67                                        Addition.

Final Answer: 67
