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.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The coordinates of Jedds house are (-7 , -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If point (x , y) divide the distance between the two points

  (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) at the ratio

  (m_{1}:m_{1}), then

  x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} and

  y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

* Lets solve the problem

∵ Hollis house is located at (-1 , 4)

∴ (x_{1},y_{1}) = (-1 , 4)

∵ She can walk in a straight line to get to Jedds house

∵ The restaurant is located at (-3 , 2) and partitions the way from

   Hollis house to Jedds house by a ration of 1 : 2

∴ (x , y) = (-3 , 2)

∴ (m_{1}:m_{1}) = 1 : 2

- Lets consider that Jedds house is located at (x_{2},y_{2})

∴ -3=\frac{-1(2)+x_{2}(1)}{1+2}

∴ -3=\frac{-2+x_{2}}{3}

- Multiply both sides by 3

∴ -9=-2+x_{2}

- Add 2 for both sides

∴ -7=x_{2}

∴ 2=\frac{4(2)+y_{2}(1)}{1+2}

∴ 2=\frac{8+y_{2}}{3}

- Multiply both sides by 3

∴ 6=8+y_{2}

- Subtract 8 for both sides

∴ -2=y_{2}

∴ The coordinates of Jedds house are (-7 , -2)
