A metallugarist has an alloy with 6% titanium and an alloy with 20% titanium. He needs 100 grams of an alloy with 13% titanium.

How much of each alloy should be mixed to attain the 100 grams of alloy with 13% titanium?

\bf \begin{array}{lccclllll}
&amount(g)&\textit{\% of titanium}&\textit{grams of titanium}\\
&-----&-----&-------\\
\textit{6\% alloy}&x&0.06&0.06\cdot  x\\
\textit{20\% alloy}&y&0.2&0.2\cdot  y\\
----&-----&-----&-----\\
mixture&100&0.13&100\cdot 0.13\to 13
\end{array}

so.. .whatever those amounts are, of "x" and "y", for the mixture,
they must add up to 100 grams, or x + y = 100

and the titanium percentage of that sum, must yield a 13 grams of titanium on those 100 grams

thus \bf \begin{cases}
x+y=100\to y=\boxed{100-x}
\\\\
0.06x+0.2\boxed{y}=13
\end{cases}

do the substitution, and solve for "x",

what's "y" amount?  well, y = 100 - x

(12x +15)°=75° .…(शिर्षभिमुख कोण भएर)

or, 12x+15=75

or, 12x=75-15

or, 12x=60

or, x=60÷12

or, x=5

3. well you know to get the perimeter of a rectangle, you add together 2L and 2W. A way you could write this is-- 2x + 2(x+5). You would just need to simplify it--2x + 2x+10 --4x+10.
4. To find out how much they have in all, you just need to add them together--x+24.50 + 7x-52.34. Now you need to simplify the problem by putting the values together. x+7x + 24.50-52.34-- you can do that.
5. To do this one, look back at 3. and just change the numbers. Drawing a picture may help. The sides are x+y and the top and bottom are 5y+12.
6. same as 5.
7. I think this one is just solving for x first. make Tom and his brother's equations equal to zero and get x by itself. Tom's equation would be 8x-30=0 ----His brother's would be 5x+10. You need to find out what x equals then plug it back into the equations. To plug it in, have x's value take x's place then find the number of candies they have. 
8. The easiest way to start is by writing the same values together. 4x+3x-5x-5-7+2---then just add the x's together and add the numbers together. 
9. Multiply the outer numbers to both of the values in the parentheses. 2(x-4) would turn out to 2x-8. then do the same as 8. and put the same values together to simplify. 
10. get x by itself. Start by multiplying 3 by x and 4 in the parentheses. simplify the numbers then subtract it from both sides to get x alone.
