Answer:

  • 12.5 ounces of 12% alloy
  • 37.5 ounces of 24% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount (in ounces) of 24% alloy in the mix. Then the amount of 12% alloy is (50 -x). The amount of silver in the mix is ...

  24%·x + 12%·(50 -x) = 21%·50

  12x = 450 . . . . . . simplify, multiply by 100 (to eliminate %), and subtract 600

  x = 37.5 . . . . . . . divide by 12

The jeweler needs to mix 37.5 ounces of 24% silver alloy with 12.5 ounces of 12% silver alloy to make 50 ounces of 21% silver alloy.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the difference in each term number is 5, we put 5 in the place of the star.

Formula for constant difference in a pattern: Tn= an+b

a is the difference while b is the number that comes before the 1st term. So, the equation to find the nth term is Tn=5n+4.

Hope this helps and please give a brainlist, thank you!
