1. Which rule describes a translation that is 8 units to the right and 2 units up?
2 answers:
Answer:
The answer is the second rule: (x,y) --> (x+8, y+2).
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at a graph, positive "x" is to the right, and negative "x" is to the left. Positive "y" is up, and negative "y" is down. Knowing this, if the problem is asking you how to describe moving 8 units to the right and 2 units up, then you know that it wants both a positive "x" and a positive "y".

Given that the jeweler has alloys that are 25% gold, 50% gold, and 82% gold.
As he wants to make 14 grams of an alloy by adding two different alloys that is precisely 75% gold, so one alloy must have a percentage of gold more than 75%.
One alloy is 82% gold and, the second can be chosen between 25% gold, 50% gold, so there are two cases.
Case 1: 82% gold + 50% gold
Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 50% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so
75% of 14 = 82% of x + 50% of y
[as x+y=14]
grams
and grams.
Hence, 10.9375 grams of 82% gold and 3.0625 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.
Case 2: 82% gold + 25% gold
Let x grams of 82% gold and y grams of 25% gold added to make x+y=14 grams of 75% gold, so
75% of 14 = 82% of x + 25% of y
grams
and grams.
Hence, 12.28 grams of 82% gold and 1.72 grams of 50% gold added to make 14 grams of 75% gold.
