Answer:

30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of 1 kg 23% copper bars, and y is the number of 1 kg 79% copper bars, then:

x + y = 48

0.23x + 0.79y = 0.44(48)

Substituting and solving:

0.23x + 0.79(48-x) = 0.44(48)

0.23x + 37.92 - 0.79x = 21.12

16.8 = 0.56x

x = 30

y = 48 - x

y = 18

You need 30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars.

14x+10y=72 14x+4y=96 Solve the following system of equations using any method
Anarel [89]
    14x + 10y = 72
    14x +   4y = 96
                6y = -24
                 6       6
                  y = -4
    14x + 10y = 72
14x + 10(-4) = 72
       14x - 40 = 72
             + 40 + 40
              14x = 112
               14      14
                  x = 8
            (x, y) = (8, -4)

Tawnee is designing a playground in the shape of a rectangle. If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a sc
svetlana [45]

Answer:

We conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)

i.e.

P = 2(l+w)

Here

  • 'l' is the length
  • 'w' is the width

Given that the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2

A scale factor of 2 means we need to multiply both length and width by 2.

i.e

P = 2× 2(l+w)

P' = 2 (2(l+w))

    = 2P      ∵ P = 2(l+w)

Therefore, we conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.
