This is a mixture problem.

Let the 9 karat gold to be mixed be x. The 18 karat would weight (200 - x). Since the total = 200g.

mass1 * karat1 + mass2*karat = total mass * total carat

Let mass1 be x g.          mass 2 would be = (200 -x)
karat 1 = 9                    karat 2 = 18 

Total mass = 200g.
Total karat = 14.

9*x  + 18*(200 -x) = 14*200

9x + 18*200 - 18*x = 14*200

18*200 + 9x - 18x = 14*200

3600 - 9x = 2800

3600 - 2800 = 9x

800 = 9x

9x = 800

x = 800/9

x ≈ 88.89

Therefore 88.89 grams of 9 karat gold must be mixed.

Find the equation of the line<br> passing through the points 1,-5)<br> and (9,11).<br> y = 2x + [?]
Naily [24]

Answer:

y = 2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like we already have the slope of this line:  It is 2.  Working with the point (1, -5), we have x = 1 and y = -5 and can from this info easily find the y-intercept, b:

y = mx + b becomes

y  = 2x + b, which in turn becomes

-5 = 2(1) + b, or

b = -7,

and so the desired equation is y = 2x - 7

Can someone help 30 points!
irina1246 [14]
We cannot solve for a numerical value of p, but rather set the equation equal to p.

w = 4/(p+2)

(Multiply both sides by the denominator)

w(p+2) = 4

(divide both sides by w)

p+2 = 4/w

(Subtract 2 from both sides) (also 2/1)

p = (4-2)/w

p = 2/w

What step can be taken to get the x by itself on one side in the equation x - 13 = 102?
galben [10]
To get x by itself, you would add 13 to both sides. x=115

What is 3 minus the exponet of 5
xz_007 [3.2K]

I'm going to assume you mean 3 to the power negative 5.

3^-5

Use rule [ x^-y = 1/x^y ]

3^-5 = 1/3^5 = 1/243

Best of Luck!
