18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper should be combined by the metalworker to create 90 kg of 51% copper alloy.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x = kg of 15% copper alloy
Let y = kg of 60% copper alloy
Since we need to create 90 kg of alloy we know:
x + y = 90
51% of 90 kg = 45.9 kg of copper
So we're interested in creating 45.9 kg of copper
We need some amount of 15% copper and some amount of 60% copper to create 45.9 kg of copper:
0.15x + 0.60y = 45.9
but
x + y = 90
x= 90 - y
substituting that value in for x
0.15(90 - y) + 0.60y = 45.9
13.5 - 0.15y + 0.60y = 45.9
0.45y = 32.4
y = 72
Substituting this y value to solve for x gives:
x + y = 90
x= 90-72
x=18
Therefore, in order to create 90kg of 51% alloy, we'd need 18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper.

Answer:
-7x-3
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not complete. A complete question is in the form:
A letter is chosen at random from the letters of the word EXCELLENT. Find the probability that letter chosen is i) a vowel ii) a consonant.
Solution:
The total number of letters found in the word EXCELLENT = 9
i) The number of vowel letters found in the word EXCELLENT = {E, E, E} = 3
Hence, probability that letter chosen is a vowel = number of vowels / total number of letters = 3 / 9 = 1 / 3
probability that letter chosen is a vowel = 1/3 = 0.333 = 33.3%
ii) The number of consonant letters found in the word EXCELLENT = {X, C, L, L, N, T} = 6
Hence, probability that letter chosen is a consonant = number of consonant / total number of letters = 6 / 9 = 2 / 3
probability that letter chosen is a consonant = 2/3 = 0.667 = 66.7%
Answer:
-207xy
Step-by-step explanation:
-6x^3 - 9xy + 18x
-216x -9xy +18x
-225xy + 18x
-207xy
If I'm not mistaken.
