Answer:

0.32 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of weight of -copper, zinc, manganese, and nickel = 177:12:7:4

let the

weight of copper = 177x

weight of zinc = 12x

weight of manganese = 7x

weight of nickel = 4x

Total weight of this alloy in terms of x =  177x + 12x+ 7x + 4x = 300x

given weight of alloy = 8 grams

thus,

weight of this alloy in terms of x =given weight of alloy

300x = 8 grams

x = 8/300 grams =

weight of zinc = 12x = 12 * 8/300 grams = 96/300 grams = 0.32 grams

Solve, using linear combination. <br> 3x + y = 4<br> 2x + y = 4
nataly862011 [7]
X would be 0 while Y would be 4

  3x+y=4
  -(2x+y=4)

x=0

Plug in x to any of those two equations in their original form

3(0)+y=4

0 + y = 4

y = 4
