(x-4)² + (x-2)² = x²
(x² - 8x + 16 ) + (x² - 4x + 4) = x
2x² -12x + 20 = x
2x²-12x + 20 - x = 0
2x² - 13x + 20 = 0
(2x-5) (x-4) = 0
2x-5 = 0
2x = 5
x = ⁵/₂
x-4 = 0
x = 4
so x₁ = ⁵/₂ , and x₂ = 4
Answer:
<h2>36.14 pounds of 34% copper alloy and 9.86 pounds of 48% copper alloy</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
First alloy contains 34% copper and the second alloy contains 48% alloy.
We wish to make 46 pounds of a third alloy containing 37% copper.
Let the weight of first alloy used be
in pounds and the weight of second alloy used be
in pounds.
Total weight =

Total weight of copper = 

Subtracting 34 times first equation from second equation,

∴ 36.14 pounds of first alloy and 9.86 pounds of second alloy were used.
1/10 of an ounce is the answer
Answer:
a₁₂ = - 4194304
Step-by-step explanation:
the nth term of a geometric sequence is
= a₁ 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
here a₁ = 1 and r =
= - 4 , then
a₁₂ = 1 ×
= - 4194304
<span>Turn 1 3/4 into a decimal number: 1.75
So, 120 miles in 1.75 hours, but we want to know miles in *one* hour. Divide both numbers by 1.75. 120/1.75 miles in 1.75/1.75 hour = 120/1.75 miles in 1 hour. 120/1.75 is 68.57 miles in one hour, so 68.57 mph.</span>
