Answer:

(A)129 Pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 23% zink alloy

Therefore:

Since the total result is 516 pounds

The number of pounds of 42% zink alloy =516-x pounds

We then have the resulting equation:

0.23x+0.42(516-x)=0.3725*516

0.23x+216.72-0.42x=192.21

Colect like terms

0.23x-0.42x=192.21-216.72

-0.19x=-24.51

Divide both sides by 129

x=129 pounds

Therefore, the number of pounds of 23% zink alloy that must be mixed is 129 pounds.

The legs of an iscosceles triangle have lengths 3x-1 and -x +27. The base has length 5x+1. What is the length of the base
asambeis [7]

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs are given to be :

3x - 1 and -x + 27

The base = 5x + 1

One of the properties of an isosceles triangle is that two sides are equal , that is the two legs are equal. This means that

3x - 1 = - x + 27

3x + x = 27 + 1

4x = 28

x = 7

To calculate the length of the base, substitute x = 7 into the length of the base given , that is

Length of the base = 5(7) + 1

L = 35 + 1

L = 36

Use the table below to answer this question:
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the average rate of change by using the formula

rate of change = (y2-y1) /(x2-x1)

                         = (5-3)/(1-0)

                         = 2/1

                            =2
