×+1/×+3=15/21
×+1=15(×+3)/21
×+1=15×+45/21
21(×+1)=15×+45
21×+21=15×+45
21×-15×=45-21
6×=24
×=4

How many pounds of a 15% copper alloy must be mixed with 700lb of a 30% copper alloy to maybe a 25.5% copper alloy

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$300\; \rm lb$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ represent the mass (in pounds) of that $15\%$ copper alloy required, such that the final mixture would contain $25.5\%$ copper by mass.

Consider: if $x$ pounds of that $15\%$ copper alloy is mixed with $700$ pounds that $30\%$ copper alloy, what would be the mass of copper in the mixture?

Mass of copper in $x$ pounds of that $15\%$ copper alloy: $(0.15\, x)\; \rm lb$ .
Mass of copper in $700$ pounds of that $30\%$ copper alloy: $700 \times 0.30 = 210\; \rm lb$ .
