Answer:

The value of x would be \frac{3}{5}y or \frac{3}{8}z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain  5% gravel mixture,

Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,          

⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),

0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y

0.05x = 0.03y

\implies x = \frac{0.03}{0.05}y=\frac{3}{5}y----(1)

Now, resultant mixture is z ton,

i.e. z=x+y

\implies y = z - x

From equation (1),

x=\frac{3}{5}(z-x) = \frac{3}{5}z-\frac{3}{5}x

x+\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

\frac{8}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

x=\frac{3}{8}z

Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below? 10(5x - 3/5) + 50
Kamila [148]
Hello!

You can distribute the 10

50x - 6 + 50

Combine like terms

50x = 44

Divide both sides by 50

x = 44/50

Simplify

x = 22/25 = 0.88

The answer is x = 0.88

Hope this helps!

Please find the missing side of the triangle and round the answer to the nearest tenth. Thanks.
Zanzabum

Answer:

x =79.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp / hypotenuse

sin 31 = 41/ x

x = 41/ sin 31

x = 79.60576508

To the nearest tenth

x =79.6
