Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.
In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.
The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.
Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
Answer:
27 miles in the morning and 85 miles in the afternoon.
Explanation:
Let m be the number of miles they rode in the morning. They rode 4 more than 3 times this many in the afternoon; this gives us the expression
3m+4
to represent the miles ridden in the afternoon.
Together they rode 112 miles; this means we add the morning miles, m, to the afternoon miles, 3m+4, and get 112:
m+3m+4 = 112
Combine like terms:
4m+4 = 112
Subtract 4 from each side:
4m+4-4= 112-4
4m = 108
Divide both sides by 4:
4m/4 = 108/4
m = 27
They rode 27 miles in the morning.
That means in the afternoon, they rode
3m+4 = 3(27)+4 = 81+4 = 85 miles.
3x - y = 9
y = -2x + 11
3x - (-2x + 11) = 9
3x + 2x - 11 = 9
3x + 2x = 9 + 11
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4
y = -2x + 11
y = -2(4) + 11
y = -8 + 11
y = 3
solution (where the lines intersect) is (4,3)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4(8+2n) = 4 + 4n
32 + 8n = 4+4n
4n = -28
n = -7
