In Lily's garden, there are 5 rose bushes the first year. Each year, she adds two new rose bushes. She
2 answers:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of years since the first year and let y = the total number of plants.
Roses: y = 5 + 2x
Tulips: y = 20 – 3x
You can use elimination to solve.
y = 5 + 2x
(-)y = 20 – 3x
0 = -15 + 5x
15 = 5x
3 = x
This means that 3 years after the first year, the number of rose bushes equals the number of tulip plants.
The graphs appear to
intersect at (3, 11) which verifies that x=3

Answer:
- 39.7%
Explanation:
<u />
<u>1. First find the density of your chain</u>
- Density = mass / volume
- Volume = displaced water volume
= Volume of Final level of water - initial level of water
= 20 ml - 15 ml = 5 ml
- Mass = 66.7 g
- Density = 66.7g / 5 ml = 13.34 g/ml
<u />
<u>2. Second, write the denisty of the chain as the weighted average of the densities of the other metals:</u>
Mass of gold × density of gold + mass of other metals × density of other metals, all divided by the mass of the chain.
Calling x the amount of gold, then the amount of other metals is 66.7 - x:
Then, there are 26.47 grams of gold in 66.7 grams of chain, which yields a percentage of:
- (26.47 / 66.7) × 100 = 39.7%
