How much of an alloy that is 10 percent copper should be mixed with 500 ounces of an alloy that is 90?

1 answer:

6 0

So 500ounces is 90% of the alloy.
So 500:90
Now divide both sides by 9.
500/9:10
So thats
55.56:10 or
55 5/9:10
Or keep it as
500/9:10

This is a quadratic formula with a general form of a²x + bx + c = 0. For quadratic equations, we can solve for its two roots using the quadratic formula shown in the attached picture.

a = -3
b = -4
c = -4

x = [-(-4) + √(-4)² - 4(-3)(-4)]/2(-3) = <em>2 + √-32/2</em>
x = [-(-4) - √(-4)² - 4(-3)(-4)]/2(-3) =<em> 2 - √-32/2</em>
