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:

Alicia is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, then ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

left triangle to right triangle gives

\frac{r}{k} = \frac{s}{m}

Thus Alicia is correct. Jason has the incorrect sides on the second ratio

Find the greatest possible value for a+b+c+d if b is a positive integer and a,b,c,d satisfy the system of equations
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

a+b+c+d = -5\cdot b

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is now reduced:

1) a+b = c, b+c = d, c+d=a, b > 0 Given

2) a = c+d By 1)

3) (c+d)+b=c 2) in 1)

4) d = b + c By 1)

5) [c+(b+c)]+b = c 4) in 3)

6) 2\cdot b + 2\cdot c = c Algebra

7) c = -2\cdot b Algebra

8) d = -b 7) in 4)/Algebra

9) a = -3\cdot b 7) and 8) in 2)/Algebra

10) a+b+c+d = -5\cdot b 9), 1), 7) and 8)/Algebra/Result

Enter the equation of the line meeting the given conditions. Please put the equation instandard form.
just olya [345]

first, the slope is needed, which is 3-2/3--3 which is 1/6 and so this will be y=(1/6)x+b which then we'll input (3,3) which is 3=2+b or b=1 so the equation is y=(1/6)x+1
