Answer: 2 times larger.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
Answer:
x = -15 or 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We can simplify |x| - 3 = 15 to |x| = 15 because we can add 3 on both sides due to -3 being outside of the absolute value bars. Next, we can say that x is either 15 or -15 because of the absolute value (|15| is equal to 15 and |-15| is also equal to 15).
Answer:
4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4= 0.25

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the base of the vase will be where the vase touches the x-axis, that is 10 cm, therefore, the base is 10 cm from the wall
:
b) 25 = x^2 -20x +100, we solve for x to find the closest distance since as we move up the vase the distance to the wall gets closer(assume the y-axis is the wall), then
x^2 -20x +75 = 0 (x-15) * (x-5) = 0
x = 15 and x = 5
we reject x = 15
the shortest distance from the top of the vase to the wall is 5 cm
:
c) this is a left shift of the equation y = (x-10)^2
from b) we know that the left shift is 5 cm
10 - 5 = 5 cm from the wall to the base
:
d) y = (x-10+5)^2
y = (x-5)^2
