14 karat gold is 58.3333...% gold
We have 75% gold and 50% gold and we need to make 200 grams of 58.3333...% gold.

A) x + y = 200

B) .75x + .50y = ( (14/24) * 200)
We multiply equation B) by -1.3333... and get
B) -x -.6666...y = -155.5555... then adding A)
A) x + y = 200  we get

.3333...y = 44.4444...

y = 133.3333... grams 12 karat gold
x = 66.6666... grams  18 karat gold

Double-Checking the answer
133.3333... * .5 = 66.6666...
66.6666 * .75 = 50.0000...

Concentration of final solution = (66.6666... + 50) / 200 = 58.3333...% which is 14 karat gold

Lewis directs the school marching band. He uses scale drawings of the football field to design marching formations for the band.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Assuming you have the lengths in inches.

Do this: (length in inches * 10) x (length in inches * 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

There's information missing from this question. "The football field is 100 yards long and yards wide", but to find out the area of a rectangle you just need to times the two numbers together.

I assume you have a picture with the lengths in inches on, if you can see how many inches are on the scale drawing, times the inches by 10 for the length in yards for each side. Then times the two lengths (in yards) together for the area.

If a secant<span> and a </span><span>tangent of a circle </span><span>are drawn from a point outside the circle, then the product of the lengths of the secant and its external segment equals the square of the length of the tangent segment.

y</span>² = 7(15+7)
<span>y</span>² = 7*22
<span>y</span>² = 154
