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

Find the coordinates of the image of a triangle with vertices A(0, – 3), B(3, 0), and
lora16 [44]

Answer:

A'(-3,0), B'(0,-3) and C'(4,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the vertices of triangle are A(0,-3), B(3,0) and C(-7,4).

We have to find the coordinates of the image of triangle under a rotation of 90° clockwise about the origin.

90° clockwise about the origin

Rule:(x,y)\rightarrow (y,-x)

Using the rule

The coordinates of A'

A(0,-3)\rightarrow A'(-3,0)

The coordinates of B'

B(3,0)\rightarrow B'(0,-3)

The coordinates of C'

C(-7,4)\rightarrow C'(4,7)

Hence, the vertices of image of triangle is given by

A'(-3,0), B'(0,-3) and C'(4,7)
