Answer:

x = 2 and y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations, use elimination. First get the coefficients of at least one variable matching then add/subtract to eliminate the variable. Then solve for the next variable.

Multiply the equation 8x + 2y = 17 by 2 so it becomes 16x + 4y = 34.

Stack the equations and add.

-6x - 4y = -14

16x + 4y = 34

-------------------

10x = 20

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 and solve for y.

-6(2) - 4y = -14

-12 - 4y = -14

-4y = -2

y = -2/-4

y = 1/2

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 25% copper and another alloy that is 60% copper.How many kilograms of each alloy should
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

20kg of 25% copper alloy

30kg of 60% copper alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 kinds of metal, first metal(A) have 25% copper while the second metal(B) has 60% copper. The metalworker want to create 50kg of metal, which means the total weight of both metals is 50kg (A+B = 50). The metalworker also want the metal made of a 46% which is 23kg(0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46*50). From these sentences, we can derive 2 equations. We can solve this with substitution.

A+B = 50

A= 50-B

Let's put the first equation into the second.

0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46 *50

0.25(50-B) + 0.6B =23

12.5 - 0.25B + 0.6B =23

0.35B=23 -12.5

B= 10.5/ 0.35= 30

Then we can solve A

A= 50-B

A= 50-30

A=20

Which lines are the directrices of the ellipse?
algol [13]

The lines that are the directrices of the ellipse is B. x = −3.25 and x = 9.25.

<h3>How to calculate the ellipse? </h3>

From the information given, the equation of parabola will be:

= (x - 3)²/5² + (y - 2)²/3² = 1

Hence, h = 3, k = 2, a = 5, b = 3

e = ✓1 - ✓3²/5²

E = 4/5 = 0.8

The directix will be:

x = 3 + 5/0.8

x = 9.25

x = 3 - 5/0.8

x = -3.25

Therefore, lines that are the directrices of the ellipse is x = −3.25 and x = 9.25.

PLZ HELP ME PLZZZ 15 PTS Mr. Rodriguez asked 60 randomly chosen students from each grade level at Willowbrook School about their
vredina [299]
12/60 students chose science fiction

Approximately x/150 students prefer sf

60x = 1800

x = 30

30/150 students are assumed to prefer sf

30/150 = x/100

150x = 3000

x = 20

20/100 students are likely to prefer sf

Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable estimate for the approximate percentage of students that prefer science fiction, because if 12/60 is equivalent to 30/150 which refers to the number of students who can be assumed to prefer science Fiction out of the whole school. Considering we need to identify what 30/150 as a percentage is, we can reduce it down to 1/5 to make I easier, then divide 1 by 5 to get .2
.2 as a percentage is 20%, so his inference was indeed reasonable.
