Let x represent the amount to be added. The total amount of tin will be
  15%·20 + 10%·x = 12%·(20+x)
  (15%-12%)·20 = (12%-10%)·x
  3%·20/2% = x
  30 = x

30 pounds of 10% tin must be added to get a 12% mixture.

I don’t understand so please HELPPPPPPPPPPP
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The missing angle is 50 and x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

So if all three angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, you would simply subtract 180-70-60 to find the missing angle, and from there you put in the equation 8x+2=50, you would do a step by step process get the x by itself on one side. first subtract 2 from both sides to remove it from one, making the equation 8x=48 and than divide both sides by 8 to remove it from the x making the answer x=6. :3
