Answer:

1200 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

How much of an alloy that is 10% copper should be mixed with 600 ounce of an alloy that is 70%copper in order to get an alloy that is 30%copper?

Let us represent

Number of ounce of 10% copper = x

Hence, our Equation =

x × 10% + 600 × 70% = (x + 600) × 30%

0.1x + 420 = (x + 600)0.3

0.1x + 420 = 0.3x + 180

Collect like terms

0.3x - 0.1x = 420 - 180

0.2x = 240

x = 240/0.2

x = 1200 ounces

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?
stealth61 [152]

Answer: The answer would be the first choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a function is where every INPUT has exactly ONE OUTPUT. That means for the coordinates (x, y), no pair could have an x value repeat. So, the first ordered row pair does not have any repeating x values, so it's the first answer.

Kristen just deposited $6,500 into a new bank account that pays 4.5% interest the first year and 3% compounded annually each yea
vladimir2022 [97]

This question is about compound interest, but since the interest is such a small number you can use what you know about simple interest to eliminate some answers.

You can immediately eliminate choice A as a clunker, since it is less than the original amount in the account.

Consider what the amount of interest would be if you make the rate much larger than the original rate, say 10%, or 0.1:

$6,500 × 0.1 = $650

If this amount were added to the original amount each year for two years, the total would be:

$6,500 + $650 + $650 = $6,500 + $1,300 = $7,800

This is an over-estimate for the information given, and since choices C and D are even greater than this over-estimate, they can be eliminated. That means choice B is the correct answer.

Pls help will give brainliest
lana [24]

Answer: The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation: 122 >7 (z+8) -5 (6+z). Then switch them, 7 (z+8) -5 (6+z) <122. Expanded:  7 (z+8) -5 (6+z) <122:v 2z+26

2z+26<122, subtract 26 from both sides: 2z+26-26<122-26

Simplify: 2z<96, divide both sides by 2: 2z over 2 < 96 over 2

and finally simplified: Z<48

HOPE THIS HELPED YOU OUT!

IF NOT SORRY!
