Answer:

The frame will be 4 inches in width

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the outside is 24+2x

The width of the outside is 20+2x

(24+2x)(20+2x) - 20(24) = 416

480 + 40x + 48x + 4x2 - 480 = 416

4x2 + 88x - 416 = 0

x2 + 22x - 104 = 0

(x+26)(x-4) = 0

x = -26 or x=4

The frame will be 4 inches in width

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a t
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need a system of equations here. The first equation is that 3L boxes + 5s boxes (L = large and s = small) = 88 kg so

3L + 5s = 88

12L + 2s = 235 according to the other information given.

Solve the first equation for either L or s. I'll solve for L, just because:

3L = 88 - 5s and

L = \frac{88}{3}-\frac{5}{3}s and sub that into the second equation for L:

12(\frac{88}{3}-\frac{5}{3}s)+2s=235 and if you distribute the 12 into the parenthesis you'll simplify it down a bit to

352 - 20s + 2s = 235 and combine like terms:

-18s= -117 so

s = 6.5 kg and plug that in to solve for L:

L = \frac{88}{3}-\frac{5}{3}(6.5) and

L = 18.5 kg

Dmitrij [34]

The total distance traveled from his house to the restaurant and then back to his house =16+16= 32 miles.

He drove at the constant speed of 0.8 miles per minute.

Total Time taken = \frac{Distance travled}{Speed}\

==\frac{32}{0.8} =\frac{320}{8} =40 minutes.
