Answer:
Let x be the unknown quantity of 50% silver.
Look at the silver concentrations... This will be 0.5x of actual silver,
Added to 5% silver in 500g or 0.05(500)g of actual silver
Totaling to (500+x)g of 20% silver which will have 0.2(500+x)g of silver
Your equation is:
0.5x + 0.05(500) = 0.2(500+x)
Solve for x to find the grams of 50% silver used

Student P:
They messed up in step 1 because they made the 7.75 positive instead of negative, which causes the entire solution to be wrong
Student Q:
They were correct up until step 3. They didn't take all the negatives out of the equation (ex. -(3.5+7.75+29.67)).
Complete set:
From the picture, it looks like the original problem was
-2.5(1.4+3.1)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 1: multiply
1.4(-2.5)+3.1(-2.5)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 2: subtract (add?) them all together
-3.5-7.75-29.67
Step 3 should equal -40.92
Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)
Answer:
70 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 ÷1/4= 14 ×5= 70
so you first make 3 1/2 to an improper fraction, then you find the greatest common denominator between 7/2 and 1/4 which is 4, so you multiple 7/2 by 2 and get 14/4 and divide that by 1/4 and get 14minutes now multiply that by 5 laps and receive 70 minutes.
