A metal worker has 57 grams of an alloy that is 37% gold. She also has a large supply of an alloy that is 17% gold. How many grams of the 17% gold alloy does she need to add to the 37% gold alloy to obtain an alloy that is 25% gold? Write your answer as a whole number or as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

85.5 grams of 17% gold alloy is added.

Step-by-step explanation:

A metal worker has 57 grams of an alloy that is 37% gold.

And let x grams of an alloy which is 17% gold.

Let's add them to get 25% of (x+57)grams of alloy.

So, we can set up equation as

57(37%) +x(17%) =(x+57)(25%)

Simplify and solve the equation for x.

21.09+0.17 x=  0.25 x+14.25

Subtract both sides 0.25 x

21.09-0.08 x =14.25

Subtract both sides 19.95

-0.08 x=-6.84

Divide both sides by -0.08

x=85.5 grams

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  [tex](a^{m})^{n} =a^{mn}[/tex]

3³([tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex])

The simplified value of exponential expression27(1/3) is about equivalent to 3.

Here, we have,

give that,

the expression is 27^1/3.

We know,

An exponential expression is a mathematical expression that requires raising a variable to a power.

now, we get,

Rewrite  27  as  3 ³.

so, we have, (3³)^1/3

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  nᵃᵇ= (nᵃ)ᵇ

3³^(1/3) = 3

i.e. we have,

(27)^1/3

= (3^3)^1/3

= 3

As 3*3*3 is 27 so we can write 3^3 ...both power got cancelled hence we got 3 as a answer.

Hence, The simplified value of exponential expression27(1/3) is about equivalent to 3.

6. mZ1 = (3x + 10)
m24 = (4x - 15)
What is the m<7?

Answers

Answer:

95°

Step-by-step explanation:

1 is opposite to 4. So, (3x+10)° = (4x-15)°

3x + 10 = 4x - 15

10 + 15 = 4x - 3x

25 = x

m(4) = 4x - 15 => 4.25 - 15

100 - 15 = 85 = m(4)

7 is opposite to 6 and 6 is parallel to 4. So, m(4) + m(6) = 180°

85° + m(6) = 180°

m(6) = 95°

6 is opposite to 7, so m(6)=m(7) and answer is 95°

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the general compound interest formula A = P(1+r/n)^nt. With an initial investment of $500, and percent interest of 6% compounded semi annually(every six months/half a year/twice in one year). A = 500(1+6%/2)^2t .

i.e if given two years of compound interest, t=2. A = 500(1+6%/2)^2(2), 500(1+0.03)^4, 500(1.03)^4, 500(1.12550881), 500(≈1.1255) = 562.75

Sound policy requires that a certain number of trees be planted for every tree that is cut down for example of 8 trees are cut down 48 trees will be planted a homeowner is going to cut down five trees on his property how many trees will be planted 1/5 are cut down

Answers

Answer:

30 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the policy:

8 trees are cut down 48 trees will be planted

If homeowner is going to cut down five trees on his property how many trees will be planted

Since :

8 trees cut down = 48 planted

5 trees cut down = X

Cross multiply :

8 * X = 48 * 5

8X = 240

X = 240/8

X = 30

Hence, 30 trees will need to be planted

Amelia ,Hayden and Sophie did a test the total for the test was 75 marks Amelia got 56% of 75 marks Hayden got 8/15 0f the 75 marks Sophie got 43 out of 75 marks who got the highest

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Amelia got 56% of 75 so

(56/100)*75=(56*75)/100=4200/100=42

Hayden got 8/15 of 75 so

(8/15)*75=(8*75)/15=600/15=40

and Sophie that got 43 out of 75

so we see that Sophie got the highest points.

Given parameters:

  Total test score = 75marks

 Percentage of Amelia score  = 56%

 Fraction  of Hayden's score = [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex]

  Sophie's score  = 43marks

Unknown:

The person with the highest score  = ?

Solution:

  Since total score = 75marks;

Amelia's score = [tex]\frac{56}{100} x 75[/tex]   = 42marks

 Hayden's score = [tex]\frac{8}{15} x 75[/tex]   = 40marks

 Sophie's score  = 43 marks

The person with the highest score is Sophie with a mark of 43.

The sum of three numbers is 123. The second number is 9 less than two times the first number. The third number is six more than three times the first number. Find the three numbers

Answers

Answer:

          21, 33 and 69

Step-by-step explanation:

x        - the first number

2x      - two times the first number

2x-9     - 9 less than two times the first number = the second number

3x      - three times the first number

3x+6     -  six more than three times the first number = the third number  

The sum of three numbers is 123:

x + 2x-9 + 3x+6 =123

    6x - 3 = 123

      6x = 126

        x = 21

2x-9 = 2•21-9 = 33

3x+6 = 3•21+6 = 69

Check:  21+33+69 = 123

The table shows the number of condo sales per month for a new condo building. Select all the equations that could represent the number of sales.

Answers

Answer:

Option (1) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation representing number of sold is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Where m = number of condo sold per month  

(x', y') is a point from the given table,

Slope of line passing through two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Slope of the passing through (1, 8) and (0, 11) will be,

m = [tex]\frac{11-8}{0-1}[/tex] = -3

Therefore, equation of the line passing through (3, 2) and slope (-3),

y - 2 = (-3)(x - 3)

y - 2 = -3(x - 3)

Similarly, equation of the line passing through (0, 1) and slope (-3),

y - 11 = -3(x - 0)

Therefore, Option (1) and (5) will be the answer.

What are trigonometric equations?

These are the equation that contains trigonometric operators such as sin, cos.. etc.. In algebraic operation.

Diameter = 200
Radius = Diameter/2 = 100
Rotational angle = 60°
Let the height be h
tan60 = h/100

5x=y is it Proportional or not and if it is proportional whats the constant proportionality

Answers

Answer:

Yes, 5x = y is Proportional and, the constant of proportionality is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y are proportion, then

y = k x is the equation of the proportional, where k is the constant of proportionalityIt represented graphically by a line passes through the origin (0, 0)

∵ 5x = y

→ Switch the two sides

y = 5x

→ Check it if passes through the origin point or not

∵ At x = 0, y = 5(0) = 0

(0, 0) is a point y = 5x

∴ y = 5x represented graphically by a line passes through the origin

x and y are proportion

y = 5x is the equation of proportional

→ By comparing it with the form of the equation above

k = 5

Put your answer in fully reduced form.

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 3) and (5, -3) is [tex]y = -\frac{6}{5}\cdot x +3[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry we must remember that a line can be formed after knowing two distinct points on Cartesian plane. The equation of the line is described below:

[tex]y = m\cdot x + b[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]x[/tex] - Independent variable, dimensionless.

[tex]y[/tex] - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

[tex]m[/tex] - Slope, dimensionless.

[tex]b[/tex] - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If we know that [tex](x_{1},y_{1}) = (0,3)[/tex] and [tex](x_{2},y_{2})=(5,-3)[/tex], the following system of linear equations is constructed:

[tex]b = 3[/tex] (Eq. 2)

[tex]5\cdot m + b = -3[/tex] (Eq. 3)

The solution of the system is: [tex]b = 3[/tex], [tex]m = -\frac{6}{5}[/tex]. Hence, we get that equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 3) and (5, -3) is [tex]y = -\frac{6}{5}\cdot x +3[/tex].
