Answer:

The total weight of the metal bar in pounds is 25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we have a metal bar which has a content of 60% zinc corresponding to 15 pounds.

Mathematically, let’s say the total weight of the metal composite is x pounds. It is 60% of this that is 15 pounds which is the content of the zinc

Mathematically;

60/100 * x = 15

60x = 15 * 100

60x = 1500

x = 1500/60

x = 25 pounds

It says solve for the variable can you explain

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the triangle is a right triangle we also know that the angle would be 90 degrees

However we are only given 56 and 3x+7

Let 3x+7 be u

We know that 56+u=90 so solve for u

u=90-56

u = 34

Now u = 3x + 7 so,

3x + 7 = 34

solve for x,

3x=34-7

3x=27

x=27/3

x=9.

If y varies directly as x and y = 12 when x = 8, find y when x = 14.
Alex17521 [72]
The direct variation between x and y may be written as,
                                    y = kx
where k is the constant of variation. From the first set of values of the variables,
                                 12 = k(8)
the value of k is 1.5. Substituting the next set to the same equation,
                                 y = 1.5(14) 
The value of y is 21.
