5 yrs ago : 1440 students admitted
last year : admitted 1/3 more.....1440 + 1/3(1440) = 1440 + 480 = 1920 admitted
this year : admitted 62.5% more.....1920(1.625) = 3120 admitted <==

a metal worker has a metal alloy that is 20% copper, and another metal alloy that is 60% copper. How many kilograms (kg) of each
emmainna [20.7K]

Let X = the 29% alloy and Y = the 60% alloy.

They want a total of 80kg, so you have X +Y = 80

Rewrite that to get X = 80-Y


You also want 0.20X + 0.60Y = 0.52(80)

Replace X with 80-y:

0.20(80-y) + 0.60y = 0.52(80)

Simplify:

16 - 0.20y + 0.60y = 41.6

Combine like terms:

16 +0.40y = 41.6

Subtract 16 from each side:

0.40y = 25.6

Divide both sides by 0.40

y = 25.6 / 0.40

y = 64


Now you have Y replace y with 80 in X = 80-Y

X = 80 - 64

X = 16

They need 64 Kg of the 60% alloy and 16 Kg of the 20% alloy.

I have to write the definitions of all of these math terms, can you help me?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Solution of an Equation in Two Variables - Generally, a two-variable system solution is an ordered pair that makes BOTH equations valid.

Graph of an Equation in Two Variables - In the Ax + By = C form, linear equations with two variables will appear, and the resulting graph is always a straight line.

Linear Equation - Any equation that can be written in shape is a linear equation. Ax+b=0, 0.0 Where the real numbers are a and b, and x is a vector.

Linear Function - Those whose graph is a straight line are linear functions. The following form has a linear function. F(x) = y = a + bx.

I can't add a drawing right now, but I help these help!!
