Anne and Nancy use a metal alloy that is 21.8% copper to make jewelry. How many ounces of a 13% alloy must be mixed with a 29% alloy to form 140 ounces of the desired 21.8% alloy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 63.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

copper = 21.8%

0.13%x + 29%(140-x) = 21.8%(140)

open the brackets

0.13x + 40.6 - 0.29x = 30.5

collect like terms

0.13x - 0.29x = 30.5 - 40.6

–0.16x = –10.1

divide both sides by – 0.16

–0.16x / – 0.16 = –10.1 / –0.16

x = 63.13%

Solve:
-8(x - 3) + 5x < 9(x + 12)
This is Algebra 1

Answers

Answer:

The answer is x > -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting out equation is:

-8(x - 3) + 5x < 9(x + 12)

Once you've got your equation down, you have to remove the parentheses by doing distributive property, and multiplying the -8 by x and -3, [-8(x-3)] and the 9 by x and 12, [9(x + 12)]

Once you do that, you have something like this:

-8x + 24 + 5x < 9x + 108

Then you have to add like terms. That means adding -8x to the positive 5x, and only that since thats the only possible way.

-3x + 24 < 9x + 108

When that's over, you have to move the variable(in my case, 9x) to the left-hand side and change its sign:

-3x -9x + 24 < 108

You see that instead of positive 9x, like it was, it's now negative 9x since we changed its location.

And now do the same to the constant (in my case, 24) to the right-hand side. make sure to reverse its sign aswell, so now it's a negative 24. Now it looks a bit like this:

-3x -9x < 108 -24

Collect like terms (subtracting -9x by -3x, subtracting 108 by -24)

-12x < 84

Now that we isolated the variable, we have to divide it by -12.

KEEP IN MIND!!

When doing work like this, at some point you have to divide the variable by itself, and same thing to the other side. When the variable is a positive number and you're dividing by a positive number, DONT REVERSE THE GREATER/LESS (whatever you have) SIGN!!

When you are dividing by a negative number,

REVERSE THE SIGN!!

I always forgot this and got it wrong back then!!

Back to the lesson, itll look like this when dividing

-12x < 84

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

-12x -12x

Once you divide it, you'll get this

x > -7

I hope this helped!

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with triangle ABC with side BC lying on line n.

Draw a line through point A parallel to line n, and call it line m.

Angles 1 and 3 are alternate interior angle of parallel lines and are congruent.

Angle 2 and 4 are alternate interior angles of parallel lines and are congruent.

The sum of the measures of angles angles 1, BAC, and 2 is 180 since they lie on a line.

m<1 + m<BAC + m<2 = 180

Now we substitute in the angles we know are congruent by alternate interior angles (written above).

m<3 + m<BAC + m<4 = 180

Solve each equation 9-4(2x-1)=45

Answers

I think it is done like this but I am not sure.

Simplifying

9 + -4(2x + -1) = 45

Reorder the terms:

9 + -4(-1 + 2x) = 45

9 + (-1 * -4 + 2x * -4) = 45

9 + (4 + -8x) = 45

Combine like terms: 9 + 4 = 13

13 + -8x = 45

Solving

13 + -8x = 45

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-13' to each side of the equation.

13 + -13 + -8x = 45 + -13

Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0

0 + -8x = 45 + -13

-8x = 45 + -13

Combine like terms: 45 + -13 = 32

-8x = 32

Divide each side by '-8'.

x = -4

Simplifying

x = -4

The solution to the equation 9 - 4(2x - 1) = 45 is x = -4.

We have,

Distribute the -4 to the terms inside the parentheses:

9 - 4(2x - 1) = 45

9 - 8x + 4 = 45

Combine like terms:

13 - 8x = 45

Move the constant term to the other side of the equation by subtracting 13 from both sides:

13 - 8x - 13 = 45 - 13

-8x = 32

Divide both sides of the equation by -8 to isolate the variable:

(-8x) / (-8) = 32 / (-8)

x = -4

Therefore,

The solution to the equation 9 - 4(2x - 1) = 45 is x = -4.

Complete question :

A statistics professor wants to know the average GPA of the students enrolled in their class. They look up information on Canvas about the students enrolled in the class and compute the average GPA as 3.29

a. State whether the following statement is true or false. The population is all students enrolled in the accounting class.

b. Does the value 3.29 represent the population parameter or the sample statistic?

Answer:

True ; population parameter

Step-by-step explanation: The population comprises of all sets or participants relating to a study or experiment. For example, a population of male adults in the United States refers to the entire pool of adult population in the country. Hence, in the scenario above, the population refers to the entire student in the accounting class since the accounting class represents the entire pool of students.

B.) population parameter

Statistical estimates derived from a population is called the a parameter, since 3.29 represent the average score of the entire class.

Same statistic represents estimates derived from a sample (subset of the entire population).

The total rainfall for two days was 14.6 mm. The first day's total was 4.5 mm less than the second
day's. How much rain fell on each day in cm?​

Answers

Answer:

first day = 5.05mm = 0.505cm

second day = 9.55mm = 0.955cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent first day

Let y represent second day

x + y = 14.6

x = y - 4.5

(y - 4.5) + y = 14.6

2y - 4.5 = 14.6

2y = 14.6 + 4.5

2y = 19.1

Divide both sides by coefficient of y which is 2

y = 9.55

Substituting value of y in the equation x + y = 14.6

x + 9.55 = 14.6

x = 14.6 - 9.55

x = 5.05

To convert the values in mm to cm you divide them by 10 since 1cm=10mm

4x^2 - 18x - 36

Answers

Answer: 2(2x + 3)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation: For any factoring problem you do, your first

task will be to determine if a GCF exists for the original polynomial.

If a GCF does exist, it must be factored out as the first step to the problem.

In the problem you see here, the 3 terms in

the original polynomial have a GCF of 2.

So a 2 must be factored out as your first step.

This leaves you with 2(2x² - 9x - 18).

This does not make your life a whole lot easier however

because you still have a coefficient on the x squared term.

Factoring from here, you get 2(2x + 3)(x - 6).

Answer:

2(x - 6)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few steps to factoring depending on the polynomial.

Step 1. Factor our a common factor if possible.

Every term is divisible by 2, so factor out a 2.

4x^2 - 18x - 36 =

= 2(2x^2 - 9x - 18)

Step 2. We need to factor the quadratic trinomial.

Now we have a quadratic trinomial, in which the x^2 term is not plain x^2, but it has a coefficient of 2.

Our polynomial is of the form ax^2 + bx + c, with "a" not equal to 1.

We have 2x^2 - 9x - 18, so we have a = 2, b = -9, c = -18.

We can try guessing, but instead, I will use the "ac" method.

Step A. Multiply coefficients ac:

ac = 2(-18) = -36

Step B. Now we need two numbers that add to b and multiply to ac.

We need two numbers that add to -9 and multiply to -36.

The numbers are -12 and 3 since (-12)(3) = -36, and -12 + 3 = -9.

We now break up the middle term, -9x, using these two numbers.

= 2(2x^2 - 12x + 3x - 18)

Now we factor by grouping. Factor a common factor out of the first two terms, and factor a common factor out of the last two terms.

= 2[2x(x - 6) + 3(x - 6)]

x - 6 is a common factor inside the brackets, so we factor it out inside the brackets.

= 2[(x - 6)(2x + 3)]

= 2(x - 6)(2x + 3)

Answer:

The answer would be D. 12, 15, and 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer for  the side lengths of a triangle is D. 12, 15, 25.

What is the side lengths of a triangle rule?

The sides of a triangle rule asserts that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a traingle has to be greater than the length of the third side.

If a,b,c are the sides of the triangle then,

a + b > c

Now in the given question let us suppose a,b,c be the length of the sides

A. 2, 3, 6

Here, a = 2, b= 3 and c = 6

Applying sides of a triangle rule,

a + b > c

⇒2 + 3=  5 which is less than 6

Here, a + b <c

Therefore , these are not the lengths of triangle.

B. 9, 10, 19

Here, a = 9, b= 10 and c = 19

Applying sides of a triangle rule,

a + b > c

⇒9 + 9=  18 which is less than 19

Here, a + b <c

Therefore , these are not the lengths of triangle.

C. 5, 8, 15

Here, a = 5, b= 8 and c = 15

Applying sides of a triangle rule,

a + b > c

⇒5 + 8 =  12 which is less than 15

Here, a + b <c

Therefore , these are not the lengths of triangle.

D. 12, 15, 25

Here, a = 12, b= 15 and c = 25

Applying sides of a triangle rule,

a + b > c

⇒12 + 15 = 27 which is greater than 25

Here, a + b > c

Therefore , these are the lengths of triangle.

Hence,The correct answer for  the side lengths of a triangle is D. 12, 15, 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

g(x) = x² + 4x - 1

To solve for x let g(x) = 0, that is

x² + 4x - 1 = 0 ( add 1 to both sides )

x² + 4x = 1

Using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 1 + 4

(x + 2)² = 5 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 2 = ± [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2 ± [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Thus solutions in exact form are

x = - 2 - [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] , x = - 2 + [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]
