Answer:

Let x be the unknown quantity of 50% silver.

Look at the silver concentrations...   This will be 0.5x of actual silver,

Added to 5% silver in 500g or 0.05(500)g of actual silver

Totaling to (500+x)g of 20% silver which will have 0.2(500+x)g of silver

 

Your equation is:

 

0.5x + 0.05(500) = 0.2(500+x)

 

Solve for x to find the grams of 50% silver used

triangle qrs has the angle measures shown. m∠q = (1x)° m∠r = (3x)° m∠s = (6x)° the measure of the obtuse angle equals
skelet666 [1.2K]
The sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180°.

m∠q + m∠r + m∠s = 180°
1x + 3x + 6x = 180
10x = 180
x = 180/10
x = 18

m∠q = (1x)° = 1 x 18 = 18°
m∠ r = (3x)° = 3 x 18 = 54°
m∠s = (6x)° = 6 x 18 = 108°

m∠s is the obtuse angle because its measure is more than 90°. Its angle measures 108°

Find the distance (8,-7) (-4,-2)
Vinil7 [7]

Distance = 13 units

Point A: (8, -7)

Point B: (-4, -2)

\sqrt{(8 + 4)^{2} + (-7 + 2)^{2} }

\sqrt{(12)^{2} + (-5)^{2} }

\sqrt{144 + 25 }

Need anyone’s help with this APEX question! Much appreciated!
VMariaS [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D. (x - 7) + 2.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are to determine whether which of the given options best describe the English expression:

<em>'two more than the quantity of a number minus seven'</em>

We can break this expression into smaller chunks to make it easier to translate.

1. two more than ---> +2

2. the quantity of a number ---> suppose the number to be 'x'

3. number minus 7 ---> (x - 7)

Combining these, we get (x - 7) + 2 so the correct answer option is D.

How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence 1313, 1616, 1919, ……, 7070, 7373?
Nataliya [291]
To find the number of terms in the arithmetic sequence, we need to use the formula 
a_{n}= a_{1}+(n-1)d    
where a_{n} is the nth number, a_{1} is the first number, n is the number of terms and d is the difference of the two consecutive numbers.
7373 = 1313 + (n - 1)(303)
7373 = 1313 + 303n - 303
7373 = 1010 + 303n
7373 - 1010 = 303n
6363 = 303n
6363 ÷ 303 = n
n = 21

Therefore, there are 21 terms in the arithmetic sequence given.
