18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper should be combined by the metalworker to create 90 kg of 51% copper alloy.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x = kg of 15% copper alloy
Let y = kg of 60% copper alloy
Since we need to create 90 kg of alloy we know:
x + y = 90
51% of 90 kg = 45.9 kg of copper
So we're interested in creating 45.9 kg of copper
We need some amount of 15% copper and some amount of 60% copper to create 45.9 kg of copper:
0.15x + 0.60y = 45.9
but
x + y = 90
x= 90 - y
substituting that value in for x
0.15(90 - y) + 0.60y = 45.9
13.5 - 0.15y + 0.60y = 45.9
0.45y = 32.4
y = 72
Substituting this y value to solve for x gives:
x + y = 90
x= 90-72
x=18
Therefore, in order to create 90kg of 51% alloy, we'd need 18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper.
Based on the characteristics of <em>linear</em> and <em>piecewise</em> functions, the <em>piecewise</em> function 
is shown in the graph attached herein. (Correct choice: A)
<h3>How to determine a piecewise function</h3>
In this question we have a graph formed by two different <em>linear</em> functions. <em>Linear</em> functions are polynomials with grade 1 and which are described by the following formula:
y = m · x + b (1)
Where:
- x - Independent variable.
- y - Dependent variable.
- m - Slope
- b - Intercept
By direct observation and by applying (1) we have the following <em>piecewise</em> function:

#SPJ1
$125.4 is the answer to #1
#2 im not sure how the 10% effects the problem. so i cant help you there
The answer is (5,3). You need to equal both sides out. So 5x-22=4x-17. That will give you x=5. After that you substitute 5 for x in one or both of the equations and get that y=3. Hope this helps!
