Let c = grams of copper to be added

(grams of silver) / (grams of copper and silver) < = .90

387+%2F+%28c+%2B+387%29+%3C=+.9

387+%3C=+.9%28c+%2B+387%29

387+%3C=+.9c+%2B+348.3

.9c+%3E=+387+-+348.3

.9c+%3E=+38.7


c+%3E=+43g

At least 43 grams of copper must be added

check:

387+%2F+%28c+%2B+387%29+%3C=+.9

387+%2F+%2843+%2B+387%29+%3C=+.9

387+%2F+430+%3C=+.9

.9+%3C=+.9

5n +20n = 5(n+20) find N
likoan [24]

Answer:

n = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5n + 20n = 5(n + 20), that is

25n = 5(n + 20) ← divide both sides by 5

5n = n + 20 ( subtract n from both sides )

4n = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n = 5
