A9=A1+(n-1)
-2.75+(8*0.25)
-2.75+2=-0.75
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Really, we don't need to use that much math--we can use logic instead. Since the two congruent sides must be longer than 30in, the total has to be greater than 60in (the longest side plus the congruent sides.) So for our answer, we want the smallest total that is above sixty, which in this case is 72.44in.
Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :) I can explain the real math if you want, it was just unnecessary here.
Answer:
Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each ounce of the 14% copper contains 0.14 ounce of pure copper.
Each ounce of the 23% copper contains 0.23 ounce of pure copper.
Each ounce of the 18.1% copper contains 0.181 ounce of pure copper.
Use x ounces of the 14% and y ounces of the 23% to make 90 ounces of 18.1% alloy.
x+y = 90
y = 90-x
0.14x + 0.23y = 0.181·90
0.14x + 0.23(90-x) = 16.29
0.14x + 20.7 - 0.23x = 16.29
-0.09x + 20.7 = 16.29
4.41 = 0.09x
x = 49
y = 90-x = 41
Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.
