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.

Enter an inequality that represents the graph in the box
Drupady [299]

The line is solid and has a y-intercept of -6. It has a slope of +4. The area above the line is shaded. The shading indicates y > (something); the solid line indicates y ≥ (something). The (something) can be written in slope-intercept form using the parameters identified above, so the graph is of the relation ...

The length of a rectangle is $3x+10$ feet and its width is $x+12$ feet. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 76 feet, how many s
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

<h2>352ft²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of a rectangle = 3x+10

Width of the rectangle = x+12

Perimeter of the rectangle = 76ft

For us to get the area of the rectangle we need to get the value of its length and width.

Given the perimeter of a rectangle P = 2(L+W) where;

L is the length and W is the width, on substitution

76 = 2(3x+10+x+12)

76 = 2(4x+22)

76 = 8x+44

8x = 76-44

8x = 32

x = 32/8

x = 4

Substituting x = 4 into the function of the length and width we have;

Length = 3(4)+10

Length = 22feet

Width = 4+12

width = 16feet

Area of the rectangle = Length * Width

Area of the rectangle = 22feet * 16feet

Area of the rectangle = 352ft²

Fractions between 1/3 and 1/4
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The fraction 1/3 can be expressed as 4/12. Similarly, 1/4 can be expressed as 3/12. As can be seen the difference is 1/12. So mid-way between them is 3 1/2 twelfths.
