Answer:

  • 3 ounces of 75%
  • 7 ounces of 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounces of 75% silver needed. Then (10-x) is the number of ounces of 45% silver. The total silver required is ...

  0.75x +0.45(10 -x) = 0.54(10)

  0.30x +4.5 = 5.4

  0.30x = 0.9

  x = 0.9/0.3 = 3 . . . . . ounces of 75% silver

  10-x = 7 . . . . . ounces of 45% silver

Luis needs 7 ounces of 45% silver and 3 ounces of 75% silver.

Please explain how to do and set up
In-s [12.5K]

A

using the Cosine rule in ΔSTU

let t = SU, s = TU and u = ST, then

t² = u² + s² - (2us cos T )

substitute the appropriate values into the formula

t² = 5² + 9² - (2 × 5 × 9 × cos68° )

   = 25 + 81 - 90cos68°

   = 106 - 33.71 = 72.29

⇒ t = \sqrt{72.29} ≈ 8.5 in → A
