Answer:

Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ounce of the 14% copper contains 0.14 ounce of pure copper.

Each ounce of the 23% copper contains 0.23 ounce of pure copper.

Each ounce of the 18.1% copper contains 0.181 ounce of pure copper.

Use x ounces of the 14% and y ounces of the 23% to make 90 ounces of 18.1% alloy.

x+y  = 90

y = 90-x

0.14x + 0.23y = 0.181·90

0.14x + 0.23(90-x) = 16.29

0.14x + 20.7 - 0.23x = 16.29

-0.09x + 20.7 = 16.29

4.41 = 0.09x

x = 49

y = 90-x = 41

Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.

Answer:

x\geq 23

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation can simply be solved by adding 15 to both sides.

3x-2y=6<br><br> y=3/2x-3<br><br> Find the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept for both equations.
lys-0071 [83]

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have 3x - 2y = 6       <em>subtract 3x from both sides</em>

-2y = -3x + 6      <em>divide both sides by -2</em>

y = 3/2 x - 3

slope: m = 3/2

y-intercept: b = -3

x-intercept for y = 0. Substitute:

3/2 x - 3 = 0      <em>add 3 to both sides</em>

3/2 x = 3       <em>multiply both sides by 2/3</em>

x = 2

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>slope = 3/2</h3><h3>y-intercept = -3</h3><h3>x-intercept = 2</h3>

----------------------------------------------------------------

y = 3/2 x - 3 it's the same function like first function.
