(x , y) = (7, - 1)

2x + 3y = 11 → (1)

3x + 3y = 18 → (2)

subtracting (1) from (2) term by term eliminates the y- term

(3x - 2x) + (3y - 3y) = (18 - 11)

x + 0 = 7 ⇒ x = 7

substitute x = 7 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

(1) → (2 × 7) + 3y = 11

14 + 3y = 11

subtract 14 from both sides

3y = 11 - 14 = - 3

divide both sides by 3

$\frac{- 3}{3}$ = - 1

solution is (7 , -1)

A metallurgist has an alloy with 5% titanium and an alloy with 30% titanium. He needs 100 grams of an alloy with 15% titanium. H

andrey2020 [161]

Let us convert the percentages to decimal format first.. so 5% is just 5/100 or 0.05 and 15% is just 15/100 or 0.15

so hmmm, so, let's say it needs "x" amount and "y" amount of each respectively, so, whatever "x" and "y" are, they must add up to 100, and whatever their concentration is, must add up to what the mixture yields

thus

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{5\% alloy}&x&0.05&0.05x\\
\textit{30\% alloy}&y&0.30&0.3y\\
-----&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&100&0.15&15
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+y=100\implies \boxed{y}=100-x\\
0.05x+0.3y=15\\
----------\\
0.5x+0.3\left( \boxed{100-x} \right)=15
\end{cases}$

solve for "x"

what's "y"? well, y = 100 - x

When a figure is dilated, the resulting figure is always (5 points)

AysviL [449]

When a figure is dilated, this means the corresponding sides of the shape is enlarged in a uniform multiple. In this case, the ratio of the sides remains the same. Thus, when ratio of the sides remain the same, the corresponding angles are also congruent in the dilated figure. The answer here is B. similar
