Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the mass of 30% copper alloy, and y is the mass of 65% copper alloy, then:

x + y = 80

0.30x + 0.65y = 0.51(80)

Solving the system of equations using substitution:

0.30x + 0.65(80 − x) = 0.51(80)

0.30x + 52 − 0.65x = 40.8

11.2 = 0.35x

x = 32

y = 80 − x

y = 48

The metalworker needs 32 kg of 30% copper alloy and 48 kg of 65% copper alloy.
