The amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 5% gold and 20% lead and the other which is 30% gold and 50% lead.

Let's suppose the x is the amount of the first alloy and y is the amount of the second alloy:

We can make two linear equation in two variables:

0.05x + 0.3y = 31.5 ...(1)

0.2x + 0.5y = 105 ...(2)

After solving the above two linear equations by substitution method, we get:

x = 450 grams

y = 30 grams

Thus, the amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.

Factor and solve the problems in the photo ……….. pleaseeeee help i haven’t done algebra in 2 years

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

30. 2x²-x-1=0

or, 2x²-2x+x-1=0

or, 2x(x-1)+1(x-1)=0

or, (x-1)(2x+1)=0

so, x-1 = 0 or, x = 1

and 2x+1 = 0 or, 2x = -1 or, x = -1/2

so, x = 1 and 1/2

31. 3x²-14x=5

or, 3x²-14x-5=0

or, 3x²-15x+x-5=0

or, 3x(x-5)+1(x-5)=0

or, (x-5)(3x+1)=0

so, x-5=0 or, x=5

and 3x+1=0 or, 3x=-1 or, x=-1/3

so, x = 5 and -1/3

At first a price was decreased by 12%, then it was discounted again by an additional 5%. What is the percent of the total discou

olga_2 [115]

Hello there! I can help you! So we are decreasing a price by 12% and then doing it again by 5%. We would pay 88% of the original price and then 95% of that sale price. To execute this better, let's make a real-world situation. Say that Mariana wants to buy a new pair of shoes that originally costed $100. The store has a tag for 12% off and then an additional 5% discount at the counter. How much would she pay for the shoes? What total discount does she get? Let's start by multiplying 100 by 88%. 100 * 88% (0.88) is 88. That's the first part. Now, we multiply that number by 95% to find the price at the counter. 88 * 95% (0.95) is 83.6. That's the price with both discounts. Mariana would pay $83.60 for the shoes, but what about the percent discount total? Let's subtract that price from 100 and see what we get. 100 - 83.6 is 16.4. Percents are parts of 100, so we don't need to do anymore simplifying. There. The total amount of discount is 16.4%.
