Answer:
(i)unique solution
Explanation:
We solve for x1 thus in the first equation:
x1-3x3=-3
x1-9=-3
x1=-3+9
x1= 6
We solve for a thus in the second equation:
2x1+ax2-x3=-2
2+a2-x3=-2
a2-x3=-4
a2=-4+x3
Answer:
6kg pure copper and 30 kg 10% copper was mixed to give 36kg of 25% alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to produce 36 kg of 25% alloy
Let the Pure copper be x kg while 10% alloy be y kg
Pure copper is simply 100% copper
Thus;
x + y = 36 •••••(i)
Then;
100% of x + 10% of y = 25% of 36
= x + 0.1y = 9 •••••• ii)
From i x = 36-y
from ii, x = 9-0.1y
Equate both x
36-y = 9-0.1y
36-9 = 0.1y + y
0.9y = 27
y = 27/0.9
y = 30
x = 36-y
x = 36-30
x = 6 kg
Answer:
56 decreases to 11 because 45 was subtracted from it.
56-45=11
