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

Katarina [22]

Arianna sold for $ 299.6

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Part of Arianna’s earnings are based on a 5% commission rate

At the end of the day arianna earned 14.98 in commission

Therefore,

Commission earned = $ 14.98

Commission rate = 5 %

Let "x" be the amount that Arianna sell that day

Therefore, according to question,

5 % of amount earned = 14.98

5 % of "x" = 14.98

<em><u>Solve the above equation for "x"</u></em>

5 \% \times x = 14.98\\\\\frac{5}{100} \times x = 14.98\\\\5x = 14.98 \times 100\\\\5x = 1498\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ of\ equation\ by\ 5\\\\x = 299.6

Thus arianna sold for $ 299.6

49 POINTS!!!!!!!! PLZ HELP!

Answer:

(a) f⁻¹(x) = 2x - 8

(b) f⁻¹(4) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is usually not too difficult if you write the equation as y = f(x), then swap x and y and solve for y.

... y = (1/2)x + 4 . . . . y = f(x)

... x = (1/2)y + 4 . . . . variables swapped

... x - 4 = (1/2)y . . . . . subtract 4

... 2(x -4) = y . . . . . . multiply by 2

... y = 2x - 8 . . . . . . simplify

... f⁻¹(x) = 2x -8

____

Evaluating this for x=4, we get

... f⁻¹(4) = 2·4 - 8 = 0

BRAINLIEST for whoever gets this correct! Factor the expression below.
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

D. (x - 8) (x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

-16x must be split into two terms that can be added to get -16, and multiplied to get 64. The only two terms that can satisfy this, is -8.

(x - 8) (x - 8)

If you're unsure about whether it's correct, you can multiply the two together to see if you get your original expression, x^2-16x +64, as your answer.
