Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the weight of the mixture to be 100g**, then the weight of ryegrass in the mixture would be 30g.

Also, assume the weight mixture X used in the mixture is Xg, then the weight of mixture Y used in the mixture would be (100-X)g.

So we can now equate the parts of the ryegrass in the mixture as:

0.4X + 0.25(100-X) = 30

<=> 0.4X + 25 - 0.25X = 30

<=> 0.15X = 5

<=> X = 5/0.15 = 500/15 = 100/3

So the weight of mixture X as a percentage of the weight of the mixture

= (weight of X/weight of mixture) * 100%

= (100/3)/100 * 100%

= 33%

Find the solution of this system of equations. separate the x and y values.<br> x=2+y<br> -6x-6y=-12
Shkiper50 [21]
{x=2+y
{-6x-6y=-12

-6(2+y) -6y = -12
-12 - 6y - 6y = -12
-12y = -12 + 12
-12y = 0
y = 0

x = 2 + y = 2 + 0 = 2

Answer: x=2, y=0

Which graph represents the following system of equations y=3x+3 y=-x-3 ​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

See picture attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the system, graph each line separately.

y = 3x + 3 ha slope 3 and y-intercept 3.

Start at 3 on the y-axis and mark a point. Then from this point move up 3 units and to the right 1 unit. Mark a point and connect.

y=-x - 3 has slope -1 and y-intercept -3.

Start at -3 on the y-axis and mark a point. Then from this point move down 1 unit and to the right 1 unit. Mark a point and connect.

This graph is represented in the picture attached.
