5.25 pounds of one alloy containing 45% copper and 36.75 pounds of 69% copper is used to make 42 pounds of 66% copper
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.
Let x represent the amount of 45% copper and y represent the amount of 66% copper needed to make 42 pounds of a third alloy containing 66% copper. Hence:
x + y = 42 (1)
Also:
0.45x + 0.69y = 42(0.66) (2)
This gives:
x = 5.25, y = 36.75

Set up a proprtion and cross multiply.
18/7.5=22/4x+1
7.5×22=18 (4x+1)
165=72x+18
147=72x
x=2.04
