Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 1/2 (6x - 4) = 6

Expand the brackets.

x + 3x - 2 = 6

Add like terms.

4x - 2 = 6

Add 2 on both sides.

4x = 6 + 2

4x = 8

Divide 4 into both sides.

x = 8/4

x = 2

A contractor combined x tons of a gravel mixture that contained 10 percent gravel G, by weight, with y tons of a mixture that co

White raven [17]

Answer:

The value of x would be $\frac{3}{5}y$ or $\frac{3}{8}z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain 5% gravel mixture,

Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,

⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),

0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y

0.05x = 0.03y

$\implies x = \frac{0.03}{0.05}y=\frac{3}{5}y----(1)$

Now, resultant mixture is z ton,

i.e. $z=x+y$

$\implies y = z - x$

From equation (1),

$x=\frac{3}{5}(z-x) = \frac{3}{5}z-\frac{3}{5}x$

$x+\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z$

$\frac{8}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z$

$x=\frac{3}{8}z$

Y - 4x = 5<br> 8x - 2y = 16<br> Solve using system of equations

kumpel [21]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this system using elimination through addition/subtraction. Multiply the second equation by (1/2), which results in the system

y - 4x = 5

4x - y = 8

--------------

0x + 0y = 13. This is NEVER true. This system of equation has NO SOLUTION.
