Use a system of equations to solve this problem. Bronze is a mix, or alloy, of tin and copper. A metal worker needs 100 g of bronze that is 25% tin. He has one tin/copper alloy that is 5% tin and another tin/copper alloy that is 45% tin. Let x = the number of grams of the 5% tin alloy. Let y = the number of grams of the 45% tin alloy. How many grams of each alloy should the metal worker combine?Enter your answers into the boxes.__g of the 5% tin alloy and __g of the 45% tin alloy.

x = 50 grs

y = 50 grs

Step-by-step explanation:

" x "   is quantity of bronze of 5% tin

" y "   is quantity of bronze of 45% tin

The worker needs 100 grs of bronze and this bronze must be 25% tin

The mathematical expression for the 100 grs condition is:

x + y = 100

And the The mathematical expression for the % condition is:

0,05*x  + 0.45*y  = 0,25 * ( x + y )

The system is:

x + y = 100

0,05*x + 0,45*y = 0,25* ( x + y )

Solving this system we get values of x and y

y = 100 - x

0,05*x  + 0,45* ( 100 - x ) = 0,25 * ( x + 100 - x )

0,05*x  + 45 - 0,45*x = 0,25*( 100 )

0,05*x  + 45 - 0,45*x  = 25

- 0,4*x  = -45 + 25

x = 20/0,4            x = 50  grs

and y = 50 grs

answer: 8
