Let X = the 29% alloy and Y = the 60% alloy.
They want a total of 80kg, so you have X +Y = 80
Rewrite that to get X = 80-Y
You also want 0.20X + 0.60Y = 0.52(80)
Replace X with 80-y:
0.20(80-y) + 0.60y = 0.52(80)
Simplify:
16 - 0.20y + 0.60y = 41.6
Combine like terms:
16 +0.40y = 41.6
Subtract 16 from each side:
0.40y = 25.6
Divide both sides by 0.40
y = 25.6 / 0.40
y = 64
Now you have Y replace y with 80 in X = 80-Y
X = 80 - 64
X = 16
They need 64 Kg of the 60% alloy and 16 Kg of the 20% alloy.
~ Simplifying
-4x + -4 = -7(x + 4)
~ Reorder the terms:
-4 + -4x = -7(x + 4)
~ Reorder the terms:
-4 + -4x = -7(4 + x)
-4 + -4x = (4 * -7 + x * -7)
-4 + -4x = (-28 + -7x)
~ Solving
-4 + -4x = -28 + -7x
~ Solving for variable 'x'.
~ Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
~ Add '7x' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -4x + 7x = -28 + -7x + 7x
~ Combine like terms: -4x + 7x = 3x
-4 + 3x = -28 + -7x + 7x
~ Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
-4 + 3x = -28 + 0
-4 + 3x = -28
~ Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + 3x = -28 + 4
~ Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 3x = -28 + 4
3x = -28 + 4
~ Combine like terms: -28 + 4 = -24
3x = -24
~ Divide each side by '3'.
x = -8
~ Simplifying
x = -8
Answer:
the answer is
, and -
which is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
well I got that answer by doing this
we have
= 5
For
= f (a) the solutions are x =
