Question 1195324: An alloy is made by melting and combining two or more metals. A metalsmith has two alloys, each containing different amounts of silver, that will be melted and combined to form another alloy. Every 10 grams of alloy contains 2 grams of silver, and every 10 gums of alloy contains 7 grams of silver. To obtain 100 grams of an alloy that contains 50 grams of silver, how many grams of alloy A should be combined with alloy?
