Let x be the amount of the 30% alloy and y the amount of the 60% alloy the metalworker will use. However much is used, the final alloy will have a mass of

x+y=100

kilograms. For each kg of the 30% alloy used, 0.3 kg is copper; similary, each kg of the 60% alloy contributes 0.6 kg, so that

0.3x+0.6y=0.54(x+y)=54

Now,

x+y=100\implies y=100-x

\implies0.3x+0.6(100-x)=54

\implies60-0.3x=54

\implies0.3x=6

\implies x=20

\implies y=100-20=80

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

x = -2, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Your goal is to try and cancel out a variable. I want to get rid of y so i subtracted the first equation from the second one.

After that I solve for x and got x=-2.

I used x=-2 and plugged it back into either of the equation to solve for y.
