Answer:

Lesser is -7

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+4) = 21

Distribute

x^2 + 4x = 21

x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0

x^2 + 7x - 3x -21 = 0

(x+7)(x-3) = 0

Use a system of equations to solve this problem.Bronze is a mix, or alloy, of tin and copper. A metal worker needs 100 g of bron
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

x = 50 grs

y = 50 grs

Step-by-step explanation:

" x "   is quantity of bronze of 5% tin

" y "   is quantity of bronze of 45% tin

The worker needs 100 grs of bronze and this bronze must be 25% tin

The mathematical expression for the 100 grs condition is:

x + y = 100

And the The mathematical expression for the % condition is:

0,05*x  + 0.45*y  = 0,25 * ( x + y )

The system is:

x + y = 100

0,05*x + 0,45*y = 0,25* ( x + y )

Solving this system we get values of x and y

y = 100 - x

0,05*x  + 0,45* ( 100 - x ) = 0,25 * ( x + 100 - x )

0,05*x  + 45 - 0,45*x = 0,25*( 100 )

0,05*x  + 45 - 0,45*x  = 25

- 0,4*x  = -45 + 25

x = 20/0,4            x = 50  grs

and y = 50 grs
