2x - 1 = 3x + 1
3x - 2x = -1 - 1
x = -2

y = 2(-2) - 1
y = -4 - 1
y = -5

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 15​% copper and another alloy that is 60​% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy shou
coldgirl [10]

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.

the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle is 6cm more than twice the shortest side. if the third side is 2 cm less than the hy
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Let the base be p

Hypotenuse = 2p +6

Perpendicular = 2p + 4

By Pythagoras theoram

(2p+6)^2 = (2p+4)^2 +p^2

=> 4p^2 +36 + 24p = 4p^2 + 16 +16p +p^2

=> 36+ 24p = p^2 + 16p + 16

=> p^2 - 8p - 20 = 0

=> p^2 - 10p +2p - 20 = 0

=> p(p-10) +2(p-10) = 0

=> (p-10)(p+2) = 0

p = 10 and - 2

Length can't be negative

So,

p = 10

Base = 10

Perpendicular = 24

Hypotenuse = 26

Ricky can ride 17 km on his bike in the same length of time ha can walk 9 km.if his riding speed is 4 kph faster than his walkin
aivan3 [116]
Distance=speed times time
if they take the same time, we cal the time , t

b=bike speed
w=walking speed

bikedistnace=17=bt
walkdistance=9=wt

b is 4 more than w
b=4+w

we have
17=bt
9=wt
b=4w

ok so
multiply first equation by 9 and 2nd by 17

153=9bt
153=17wt
set equal
9bt=17wt
divide both sides by t
9b=17w
sub b=4+w for b
9(4+w)=17w
distribute
36+9w=17w
minus 9w both sides
36=8w
divide both sides by 8
4.5=w

he walks 4.5kph
