Let the required amount of the second alloy be x, then
0.15 x 20 + 0.1x = 0.12(20 + x)
3 + 0.1x = 2.4 + 0.12x
0.12x - 0.1x = 3 - 2.4
0.02x = 0.6
x = 0.6/0.02 = 30

Therefore, to make a 12% mixture, 30 pounds of the secon mixture should be added.

Tin from the first alloy: 20*15% = 3

Tin from the second alloy: x*10% = 0.1x

Total tin: (20 + x)*12% = 2.4 + 0.12x

Total tin = tin from the first alloy + tin from the second alloy
2.4 + 0.12x = 3 + 0.1x

Solve for x:

0.12x - 0.1x = 3 - 2.4
0.02x = 0.6
x = 0.6 /0.02
x = 30

Answer: must add 30 pounds of the second alloy.

Make a comparison between the government’s roles in a capitalist economic system versus a socialist or communist economic system
Masteriza [31]
Hello!

In a Capitalist Economic System, the government is expected to guarantee the respect to private property, promulgate laws that defend economic freedom, and is an intermediary between the private sector and society. In this economic system, the government is reduced an doesn't intervene in the free market. 

In a Socialist or Communist Economic System, the government redistributes goods and services, takes the means of production (private property) from their owners to put them in service of the working class, promulgate laws that limit economic freedom and heavily intervenes in the market and economy.

Have a nice day!
