Answer:

The jar contains 132 grams of zinc

Step-by-step explanation:

zinc to copper = 3 : 19

New equivalent weights

zinc to copper = x : 836

Now, let us solve for x as follows

\frac{zinc}{copper}  = \frac{3}{19} = \frac{x}{836} \\\\cross-multiplying\\3 \times\ 836 = 19 \times\ x\\2508 = 19x\\x = \frac{2508}{19}\\x =  132

the jar contains 132 grams of zinc

To check if the answer is accurate, the answer gotten when the weight of zinc is divided by copper will be the same for both the old and new ratios:

old ratio: 3 ÷ 19 =  0.158

new ratio: 132 ÷ 836 = 0.158

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>#9</h3>

Total charge consists of the cost of the  tarpaulin, which is 15x and lay outing cost of Php 150:

  • y = 15x + 150

Correct choice is c.

<h3>#10</h3>

We are interested in the outcome so the brand of PC is not something to concern us.

<u>Excluding the option II, we have one correct choice:</u>

  • c. I, III, and IV only
<h3>#11</h3>

<u>The area based on given dimensions is:</u>

  • A = lw = 8*6 = 48 ft²

<u>The cost of printing is:</u>

  • y = 15*48 = 720

<u>Correct choice is:</u>

  • a. 48 square feet; Php 720

What two numbers can be multiplied to be -150 and added to be 5
pav-90 [236]
Xy = -150
x + y = 5

     x + y = 5
x - x + y = -x + 5
           y = -x + 5

                                                       xy = -150
                                             x(-x + 5) = -150
                                         x(-x) + x(5) = -150
                                               -x² + 5x = -150
                                     -x² + 5x + 150 = 0
                       -1(x²) - 1(-5x) - 1(-150) = 0
                                  -1(x² - 5x - 150) = 0
                                               -1            -1
                                        x² - 5x - 150 = 0
                                        x = -(-5) ± √((-5)² - 4(1)(-150))
                                                                2(1)
                                        x = 5 ± √(25 + 600)
                                                         2
                                        x = 5 ± √(625)
                                                     2
                                        x = 5 ± 25
                                                 2
                                        x = 2.5 ± 12.5
                                        x = 2.5 + 12.5    or    x = 2.5 - 12.5
                                        x = 15          or          x = -10

    x + y = 5
  15 + y = 5
- 15      - 15
          y = -10
    (x, y) = (15, -10)

            or

    x + y = 5
 -10 + y = 5
+ 10    + 10
           y = 15
    (x, y) = (-10, 15)

The two numbers that add up to 5 and multiply to -150 are 15 and -10.
