Answer:

Large boxes are 18.25 kg

Small boxes are 15.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations. You need to set up each equation first.

I am assigning x to be big boxes and y to be small boxes.

5x + 3y = 137

2x + 6y = 128

To solve, you will need to eliminate a variable. That means you will have to multiply one of the equations by a number to make it so a variable will be eliminated. I will be multiplying the top equation by -2.

-2 ( 5x + 3y = 137)

    2x + 6y = 128

Distribute the -2 to everything in the parentheses in the first equation.

-10x - 6y = -274

2x + 6y = 128

Notice the 6y will go away because -6y + 6y = 0. Now add the equations together. The remaining equation is:

-8x = -146

Solve for x by dividing by -8.

x = 18.25

Now plug that into one of the original equations.

2(18.25) + 6y = 128.

36.5 + 6y = 128                Subtract 36.5 from each side

-36.5            -36.5

6y = 91.5                          Divide by 6 to solve

y = 15.25

A heavy metal sphere
GaryK [48]

Answer: the height of the water after the sphere is placed in

it is 33.33 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The cylinder is called a right circular cylinder because its height make a right angle with its base. The formula for determining the volume of the cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr^2h

Where

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

r represents the radius of the cylinder.

h represents the height of the cylinder.

From the information given,

r = 10 cm

h = height of water in the cylinder = 20 cm

Volume of water in the cylinder before the sphere was placed in it would be

V = 3.14 × 10^2 × 20 = 6280 cm^3

The formula for determining the volume of the sphere is expressed as

Volume = 4/3 πr^3

V = 4/3 × 3.14 × 10^3 = 4186.67cm^3

Total volume of the sphere and the cylinder = 6280 + 4186.67 = 10466.67 cm^2

To determine the new height of the water,

10466.67 = 3.14 × 10^2× h

h = 10466.67/314 = 33.33 cm
