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.

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation
azamat

Answer:

=3

=2

Step-by-step explanation:

12−5+6=0

using the Quadratic Formula where

a = 1, b = -5, and c = 6

=−±2−4‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√2

=−(−5)±(−5)2−4(1)(6)‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√2(1)

=5±25−24‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√2

=5±1‾√2

The discriminant 2−4>0

so, there are two real roots.

Simplify the Radical:

=5±12

=62=42

which becomes

=3

=2

hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

  (760\text{ mi})\dfrac{1\text{ gal}}{29.5\text{ mi}}\cdot\dfrac{4.55\text{ L}}{1\text{ gal}}\cdot\dfrac{\pounds1.16}{1\text{ L}}=\dfrac{760\cdot4.55\cdot\pounds1.16}{29.5}\\\\=\boxed{\pounds135.98}

It cost £135.98 for petrol in April.
