Answer:

20kg of 25% copper alloy

30kg of 60% copper alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 kinds of metal, first metal(A) have 25% copper while the second metal(B) has 60% copper. The metalworker want to create 50kg of metal, which means the total weight of both metals is 50kg (A+B = 50). The metalworker also want the metal made of a 46% which is 23kg(0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46*50). From these sentences, we can derive 2 equations. We can solve this with substitution.

A+B = 50

A= 50-B

Let's put the first equation into the second.

0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46 *50

0.25(50-B) + 0.6B =23

12.5 - 0.25B + 0.6B =23

0.35B=23 -12.5

B= 10.5/ 0.35= 30

Then we can solve A

A= 50-B

A= 50-30

A=20

Simplify the expression:<br> 1.9b + 8.2(8.8 + 1.2b)
leva [86]

Answer:

11.74b + 72.16

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we're going to simplify the expression.

Solve:

1.9b + 8.2(8.8 + 1.2b)

Use the distributive property.

1.9b + 72.16 + 9.84b

Combine like terms.

11.74b + 72.16

Since we can't simplify any further, 11.74b + 72.16 would be your answer.

A car has an initial value of $20,000. The value then "depreciates" or decreases by 10% of its initial value each year. Which eq
Elden [556K]

Answer:

D) v = -2,000y + 20,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question gives a linear relationship between two quantities.  This means that the relationship between the initial value of the car and the amount it depreciates each year is proportional, or constant.  Since the value of the car decreases by 10% of its initial value each year, then each year the value will decrease by 10% of 20,000 or 0.10 x 20000 = $2,000.  Since we know the value is decreasing each year, this amount would be subtracted from the initial value of $20,000.  So, D) v = -2,000y + 20,000 would be the only equation that represents this scenario.
