3(x+6)=-24
Divide both sides by 3
3(x+6)/3=-24/3
X+6=-8
X=-14
Answer:
20kg of 25% copper alloy
30kg of 60% copper alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 kinds of metal, first metal(A) have 25% copper while the second metal(B) has 60% copper. The metalworker want to create 50kg of metal, which means the total weight of both metals is 50kg (A+B = 50). The metalworker also want the metal made of a 46% which is 23kg(0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46*50). From these sentences, we can derive 2 equations. We can solve this with substitution.
A+B = 50
A= 50-B
Let's put the first equation into the second.
0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46 *50
0.25(50-B) + 0.6B =23
12.5 - 0.25B + 0.6B =23
0.35B=23 -12.5
B= 10.5/ 0.35= 30
Then we can solve A
A= 50-B
A= 50-30
A=20
If 16 pages equal to 4%, how many pages will equal to 100%?
4/100 = 16/x
4x=1600
X= 400
So total pages should be 400.
Answer: 1/4
