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

Question Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations? 2x - y = 11 5x + 3y = -11 How many pos
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Elimination (multiplication and subtraction)

There is 1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The only way to solve this system of equations is by elimination (multiplication). Let's say that we want to cancel out the x. You multiply the first equation by 5 and you multiply the second equation by 2.

Your equations now are:

10x-5y=55 and 10x+6y=-22

You can subtract these equations to get -11y = 77.

Now that we know that y = -7, we can substitute y in to solve x.

10x-5(-7) = 55

10x=20

x=2

Final answer (2,-7)

Geometry// question #8
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation rule

(x, y ) → (x + 3, y - 2 )

Means add 3 to the original x- coordinate and subtract 2 from the original y- coordinate, thus

A(- 4, 1 ) → A'(- 4 + 3, 1 - 2 ) → A'(- 1, - 1 )

B(1, 1 ) → B'(1 + 3, 1 - 2 ) → B'(4, - 1 )

C(1, - 2 ) → C'(1 + 3, - 2 - 2 ) → C'(4, - 4 )

D(- 4, - 2 ) → D'(- 4 + 3, - 2 - 2 ) → D'(- 1, - 4 )
