Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It will need 1.8 kilograms to have 25.0 g of nickel
The first set:
3x + 2y = 2 ---1)
5x + 4y = 6 ---2)
From 1), multiply all by 2, 6x + 4y = 4 ---3)
3) - 2),
6x + 4y - (5x + 4y) = 6 - 4
6x + 4y - 5x - 4y = 2
x = 2
Sub in x = 2 into 1),
3(2) + 2y = 2
2y = -4
y = -2
(2 , -2)
The second set:
3x + 2y = 2 ---1)
11x + 8y = 10 ---2)
From 1), multiply all by 4, 12x + 8y = 8 ---3)
3) - 2),
12x + 8y - (11x + 8y) = 8 - 10
12x + 8y - 11x - 8y = -2
x = -2
From this x value alone, we can tell that these two linear systems do NOT have the same solution as they meet at different coordinates.
Hope this helped! Ask me if there's any working from here that you don't understand! :)
The "CORRECT" answer is 746 with a remainder of 1
I hope this helps.
Have a "AWESOME" day!
