A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.

Each small box can hold 30 books and each large box can hold 40 books. There were twice as many large boxes sent as small boxes, which altogether can hold 330 books. Determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = small box and y = large box

30x + 40y = 330

y = 2x

30x + 40(2x) = 330

30x + 80x = 330

110x = 330

x = 330/110

x = 3 <===== 3 small boxes

y = 2x

y = 2(3)

y = 6 <=== 6 large boxes

check...

30x + 40y = 330

30(3) + 40(6) = 330

90 + 240 = 330

330 = 330 (correct)

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

  • 3x + 4 = 9x -6
  • 3x + 4 = 3x + 5
  • 9x + 6 = 9x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the variable in each type of equation

1/ an equation that has one solution:

3x + 4 = 9x -6

<=> 9x - 3x = 4+6

<=> 6x = 10

<=> x = \frac{10}{6}

2/ an equation that has no solution:

3x + 4 = 3x + 5

<=> 3x - 3x = 5-4

<=> 0 = 1 impossible

3/ an equation that has infinite many solutions:

9x + 6 = 9x + 6

<=> 9x - 9x = 6 -6

<=> 0 = 0 (obvious)  no matter what we put in for  x

Hope it will find you well.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The rate of jet in still air is 850 mile per hour  

The rate of jetstream is 150  mile per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover against jetstream  = 5600 miles

The time taken against Jetstream = 8 hours

The distance cover with jetstream = 4000 miles

The time taken with the jetstream = 4 hours

Now , let The speed of jet in still air = x  mph

The speed of jetstream = y  mph

As , Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

So, According to question

    x - y = \frac{5600}{8}

Or, x - y = 700   mph

    x + y = \frac{4000}{4}

Or,  x + y = 1000 mph

So,  ( x -  y ) + ( x + y ) = 700 + 1000

Or,   2 x = 1700

∴         x = \frac{1700}{2} = 850 mph

And    y = 1000 - 850 = 150   mph

Hence The rate of jet in still air is 850 mile per hour  and The rate of jetstream is 150  mile per hour.   Answer
