Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

½(x-2) = 8 + 5x

Multiply both sides by 2

2⋅½(x-2) = 2(8 + 5x)

1(x-2) = 2(8 + 5x)

Apply the distributive rule

x - 2 = 16 + 10x

Subtract x from both sides

-2 = 16 + 9x

Subtract 16 from both sides

-18 = 9x

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x

-18 ÷ 9 = 9x ÷ 9

-2 = x

The amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 5% gold and 20% lead and the other which is 30% gold and 50% lead.

Let's suppose the x is the amount of the first alloy and y is the amount of the second alloy:

We can make two linear equation in two variables:

0.05x + 0.3y = 31.5  ...(1)

0.2x + 0.5y = 105  ...(2)

After solving the above two linear equations by substitution method, we get:

x = 450 grams

y = 30 grams

Thus, the amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.

Find an expression for the perimeter of rectangle ABCD. Use the formula P= 2l + 2w.
natita [175]

Answer:

(b)

P = [4(4a + 3b]/(2a + b)

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

P = [2(5a + 4b) + 2(3a + 2b)]/(2a + b)

P = [10a + 8b + 6a + 4b]/(2a + b)

P = [16a + 12b]/(2a + b)

P = [4(4a + 3b]/(2a + b)
