Answer is .5
move decimal place 2 places right
Answer:
<u>y = 139 + x³ + 17 </u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The word "sum" means the amount resulting from addition in an equation. This means that we are adding all of these numbers together.
The word "product" means the amount resulting from multiplication in an equation, this means we need to find the product of a number multiplied by itself three times. Since we don't know what number it is, we can use the variable 'x'.
So, you would be adding 139, the product of x³, and 17, which would be written as y = 139 + x³ + 17.
Answer:
17(maybe)
Step-by-step explanation:
12-(-5)=17
18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper should be combined by the metalworker to create 90 kg of 51% copper alloy.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x = kg of 15% copper alloy
Let y = kg of 60% copper alloy
Since we need to create 90 kg of alloy we know:
x + y = 90
51% of 90 kg = 45.9 kg of copper
So we're interested in creating 45.9 kg of copper
We need some amount of 15% copper and some amount of 60% copper to create 45.9 kg of copper:
0.15x + 0.60y = 45.9
but
x + y = 90
x= 90 - y
substituting that value in for x
0.15(90 - y) + 0.60y = 45.9
13.5 - 0.15y + 0.60y = 45.9
0.45y = 32.4
y = 72
Substituting this y value to solve for x gives:
x + y = 90
x= 90-72
x=18
Therefore, in order to create 90kg of 51% alloy, we'd need 18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper.
Answer:
it would be 21
the only difference is that one is a negative and the other is a positive. The absolute value is the distance the number is from 0 on the number line.
hope i helped :)
