Pure gold is 24 Karat's so the ratio of purity 18 karat gold is:
(Number of Karats of Gold chain)/(Number of Karats of pure Gold)
this will give us:
18/24
=3/4 
The weight of pure gold in 18 Karat Gold will be:
(ratio of purity)×(Total weight of chain)
=3/4×18
=13 1/2 ounces
=13.5 ounces.

<span>18 karat gold contains 75% gold, and 25% other metals in the alloy. 75% of 2.8 ounces yields a gold content of 2.1 ounces. Multiplying .75 times 2.8 will yield the correct result.</span>

Y=2x-2 and 4x+2y=12. solve the equation PLEASE SHOW WORK​
diamong [38]
<h3>The solution as an ordered pair is (x,y) = (2,2)</h3><h3>x = 2 and y = 2 pair up together.</h3>

===============================

Work Shown:

4x+2y = 12

4x+2( y ) = 12

4x+2( 2x-2 ) = 12 ... replace y with 2x-2

4x+2( 2x ) + 2( -2 ) = 12 ... distribution rule

4x+4x-4 = 12

8x-4 = 12

8x-4+4 = 12+4 ... add 4 to both sides

8x = 16

8x/8 = 16/8 ... divide both sides by 8

x = 2 is the first part of the answer

Use x = 2 to find y

y = 2x-2

y = 2(2)-2 ... replace x with 2

y = 4-2

y = 2 is the second part of the answer
