Answer:

0.4kg, 1.4kg and 1.8kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

         Mass of alloy = 3.6kg

         Ratio of elements in the alloy = 2:7:9

Unknown:

Mass of each element in the alloy = ?

Solution:

To find the mass of each element in the alloy, first find the sum of the ratio;

              2+7+9 = 18

Mass of nickel  = \frac{2}{18} x 3.6 = 0.4kg

Mass of zinc = \frac{7}{18} x 3.6 = 1.4kg

Mass of copper = \frac{9}{18} x 3.6 = 1.8kg

The mass of each metal is 0.4kg, 1.4kg and 1.8kg

B = 3m + 2p<br> Work out the value of p when B= 2 and m = 5
GarryVolchara [31]

This is called a "substitution problem" is where you have variable that have defined values and plug them in value calculate the expression.

B = 3m + 2p # Starting equation

2 = (3)(5) + 2p # Substitution

2 = 15 + 2p # Multiplication

-13 = 2p # Subtract 15 from both sides

\frac{-13}{2} = p # Divide both sides from 2

p = \frac{-13}{2} # Use the reflexive property of equality

Hope this helps!

Systems of equations with graphing
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

x= negative 1 and 2/5 y=1 and 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Start by putting both equations into slope-intercept form.  (y=mx+b)

-3x+3y=9

-3x+3x+3y=9+3x

3y=9+3x

3y/3=9+3x/3

y=3+x

2x-7y=-14

2x-2x-7y=-14-2x

-7y=-14-2x

-7y/-7=-14/-7-2x/-7

y=2+2/7x

2. Graph the equations and find where they intercept.

Alex is creating an outdoor structure out of two 12 foot boards. The boards must have an angle of elevation
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

5.0 ft - 5.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the structure is to be made using two 12 foot boards, then we expect the total perimeter to be equal to (2*12)= 24 ft.

Using the angle of elevation, 40° and the width of 8 ft then you can apply the formula for tangent of a triangle where ;

Tan α = opposite side length/adjacent length

Tan 40°= h/8

h= 8 tan 40° = 6.71 ft

Applying the cosine of an angle formula to find the length of the sliding side

Cosine β = adjacent length /hypotenuse

Cosine 40°= 8/ sliding side length

sliding side length = 8/cosine 40° =10.44 ft

Checking  the perimeter = 10.44 +8+6.71= 25.15 ft

This is more than the total lengths of the boards, so you need to adjust the height as;

24 - 18.44 = 5.56 ft ,thus the height should be less or equal to 5.56 ft

h≤ 5.6 ft
