Answer:

58.33 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are already 25 lbs of alloy of copper

Of this 25 lbs, 20% is pure i.e. copper content = 25(0.5) = 5lbs.

Now available is

Copper      Other metals

5 lbs                20 lbs

Let x lb of 30% copper is added.

Then new alloy will have 5+0.3x lb copper in total of 25+x lbs

Percentage pure = \frac{5+0.3x}{25+x} =27%

Simplify to get

\frac{5+0.3x}{25+x} =\frac{27}{100} \\\\Cross multiply:\\27(25+x) =100(5+0.3x)\\500+30x =675 +27x\\3x = 175\\x = 175/3 = 58.33 lbs

Hence answer is 58.33 lbs should be added.

Write an equation in Slope-Intercept Form using the table below. ​
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

y = x + 46

Step-by-step explanation:

When writing an equation of a line, keep in mind that you always need the following information in order to determine the linear equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:

1. 2 sets of ordered pairs (x, y)

2. Slope (m)

3. Y-intercept (b)

First, choose two pairs of coordinates to use for solving the slope of the line:

Let (x1, y1) = (0, 46)

(x2, y2) =  (1, 47)

User the following formula for slope

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Plug in the values of the coordinates into the formula:m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{47 - 46}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1

Therefore, the slope (m) = 1.

Next, we need the y-intercept, (b). The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph of the linear equation crosses the y-axis. The y-intercept is also the value of y when x = 0. The y-coordinate of the point (0, 46) is the y-intercept. Therefore, b = 46.

Given the slope, m = 1, and y-intercept, b = 46, the linear equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = x + 46

(06.01) What is the value of the expression shown below? 3 over 6 to the power of 2 + 7 × 4 − 5 6 and 1 over 4 6 and 1 over 2 23
never [62]

Answer: 23(1/4)

Step-by-step explanation: this is the answer you can star resolving the equation into the parenthesis

(3/6)² + 7 *4  - 5

if we elevate to the power of 2 the values into the parenthesis, we get the following equation.

(9/36) + 7*4 -5

after this we follow with the values into the parenthesis, if you divide 9 over 36 we get the following result

9/36 = 0.25

then we get the following equation

0.25 +7*4 - 5

after that we can resolve the multiplication getting the following equation

0.25 +28 - 5

then if we resolve the subtraction, we will get this result.

28-5 = 23

then we have 0.25 + 23 this equation is equal to 23.25

if you follow the answer will be one with 23, then we get the possible results, if you divide 1/4=0.25

then we get that the result is

23(1/4)

Which exponential function goes through the points (1, 8) and (4, 64)?
Mama L [17]
An exponential function can be expressed as:

y=ab^x  we have two points so we can solve

64/8=(ab^4)/(ab^1)

8=b^3

2=b, now we have:

y=a(2^x), using point (4,64)

64=a(2^4)

64=16a

4=a so

y=4(2^x)
