Let X = the 29% alloy and Y = the 60% alloy.

They want a total of 80kg, so you have X +Y = 80

Rewrite that to get X = 80-Y


You also want 0.20X + 0.60Y = 0.52(80)

Replace X with 80-y:

0.20(80-y) + 0.60y = 0.52(80)

Simplify:

16 - 0.20y + 0.60y = 41.6

Combine like terms:

16 +0.40y = 41.6

Subtract 16 from each side:

0.40y = 25.6

Divide both sides by 0.40

y = 25.6 / 0.40

y = 64


Now you have Y replace y with 80 in X = 80-Y

X = 80 - 64

X = 16

They need 64 Kg of the 60% alloy and 16 Kg of the 20% alloy.

If EFH = (5x + 1)°, HFG = 62°, and EFG = (18x + 11)°, find EFH
olga55 [171]

Given:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

∠EFH = (5x + 1)°, ∠HFG = 62°, and ∠EFG = (18x + 11)°

To find:

The measure of ∠EFH.

Solution:

From the figure it is clear that ∠EFG is divide in two parts ∠EFH and ∠HFG. So,

\angle EFG=\angle EFH+\angle HFG

18x+11=(5x+1)+(62)

18x+11=5x+63

Isolate variable terms.

18x-5x=63-11

13x=52

Divide both sides by 13.

x=\dfrac{52}{13}

x=4

The value of x is 4.

\angle EFH=(5x+1)^\circ

\angle EFH=(5(4)+1)^\circ

\angle EFH=(20+1)^\circ

\angle EFH=21^\circ

Therefore, the measure of ∠EFH is 21°.

Which expressions represents the simplified version of the following expression? ​
elixir [45]

Answer:

7x³y² - 3x²y² + xy - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add like terms.

5x³y² + 2x³y² = 7x³y²

-3x²y² = -3x²y²

-3xy + 4xy = xy

2 - 7 = -5

Put them all together.

7x³y² - 3x²y² + xy - 5
