Answer:

There are 15 boxes of 10 oz boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boxes of 10 oz = x

and let the number of boxes of 16 oz = y

By the statement

"Total number of boxes sold is 24"

Equation for the statement will be

x + y =24 ---------------(1)

By the  statement

"she collected $97.50 while rate of 10 oz box is $3.50 and rate of 16 oz box is $5.00."

Equation for the statement will be

1.5x + 5y = $97.50 ------------(2)

From equation (1) we put the value of y = 24 - x in equation (2)

1.5x + 5(24 - x) =  97.50

1.5x + 120 - 5x = 97.50

-3.5x = 97.50 - 120

3.5x = 22.50

x = \frac{22.5}{1.5}

x = 15

Therefore, number of 10 oz boxes is 15.

Solve x4 - 11x2 + 18 = 0.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

x=√2, x=-√2, x= 3 and x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation x^4 - 11x^2+18=0  

We can replace x^4 = u^2 and x^2 = u

So, the equation will become

u^2 -11u+18 = 0

Factorizing the above equation:

u^2 -9u-2u+18 =0

u(u-9)-2(u-9)=0

(u-2)(u-9)=0

u=2, u=9

As, u = x^2, Putting back the value:

x^2 =2 , x^2 =9  

taking square roots:

√x^2 =√2 ,√x^2=√9  

x=±√2 , x = ±3

so, x=√2, x=-√2, x= 3 and x=-3
