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.

salantis [7]

Answer: 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

no of cards left = 15.

no of diamonds left = 5.

probability of drawing a diamond = 5/15.

probability that the next two cards drawn to anika are diamonds without replacements.

= 5/15 * 4/14

= 2/21

= 0.0952 * 100

the probability that the two cards dealt to Anika would be diamond is 9.52% ~ 10%

Solve, using linear combination.
Bingel [31]

Multiply the first equation by -1 to get  -4x - y = --5

Then add the second equation               3x + y = 3    

                                                           + ____________  

                                                                  -x = -2  or x = 2


then plug in 2 for x in one of the equations and solve for y      4(2) + y = 5  

                                                                                                          8 + y = 5

                           Subtract 8 from both sides                                        y = -3


                             So x = 2, y = -3     or (2,-3)
