Answer:
x+6=y and 3x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the distance traveled by Bryan and let y be the distance traveled by Sam then the first equation would be:
x+6=y (x plus 6 is equal to y, Bryan's distance plus 6 is equal to Sam's distance) and the second one is:
3x=12 (3 times x is 12, 3 times the distance travelled by Bryan is 12)
So our statements/equations are:
x+6=y and
3x=12 (we dont write this as x=4 as it asks us to give the statements we got from the information given, we only start simplifying once it tells us to solve)
Answer is C because it is proportion.
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.
