Question 931809: anne and nancy use a metal alloy that is 17 percent copper to make jewerly. how many ounces of a 15 percent alloy must be mixed with a 18 percent alloy to form 78 ounces of the desired alloy? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = ounces of 15% alloy
y = ounces of 18% alloy
---
x + y = 78
15x + 18y = 17*78
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 78
15x + 18y = 1326
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
