Answer:
- 3 ounces of 75%
- 7 ounces of 45%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of ounces of 75% silver needed. Then (10-x) is the number of ounces of 45% silver. The total silver required is ...
0.75x +0.45(10 -x) = 0.54(10)
0.30x +4.5 = 5.4
0.30x = 0.9
x = 0.9/0.3 = 3 . . . . . ounces of 75% silver
10-x = 7 . . . . . ounces of 45% silver
Luis needs 7 ounces of 45% silver and 3 ounces of 75% silver.

Answer:
x = -5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 ^ ( 4x-5) = (1/27) ^( 2x+10)
Rewriting 1/27 as 3^-3
3 ^ ( 4x-5) = (3^-3) ^( 2x+10)
We know that a^b^x = a^(b*c)
3 ^ ( 4x-5) = (3) ^(-3*( 2x+10))
3 ^ ( 4x-5) = (3) ^( -6x-30)
The bases are the same so the exponents are the same
4x-5 = -6x-30
Add 6x to each side
10x -5 = -30
Add 5 to each side
10x -5+5 = -30+5
10x = -25
Divide each side by 10
10x/10 = -25/10
x = -5/2
486/6 = 81
Square root 81 = one side length = 9m volume = 9^3 = 729
