S = large shrimp and p = popcorn shrimp

s + p = 10.....multiply by -1
5s + p = 30
---------------
-s -p = -10 (result of multiplying by -1)
5s + p = 30
---------------add
4s = 20
s = 20/4
s = 5

s + p = 10
5 + p = 10
p = 10 - 5
p = 5

so there was 5 lbs of large shrimp (s) and 5 lbs of popcorn shrimp (p) in the mixture

A delivery company has 18 vehicles in its fleet.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: £1517.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel expenses for the vans will be calculated as:

Vans:

Since the average distance travelled per day is 198km and the average distance travelled per litre is 9km, the van would use:

= 198/9

= 22 litres

Since there are 8 vans, they'll use:

= 22 × 8 = 176 liters

Trucks:

Since the average distance travelled per day is 620km and the average distance travelled per litre is 6.2km, the truck would use:

= 620/6.2

= 100

Since there are 10 trucks, they'll use:

= 100 × 10 = 1000 liters

The amount of liters for both the van and the truck will be:

= 176 liters + 1000 liters

= 1176 liters

The fuel cost will then be:

= 1176 × 1£1.29

= £1517.04

Louis plans to buy a new washing machine. The washing machine costs $560 and has an estimated annual operating cost of $48. Whic
Serjik [45]
(560+48x)/x. After owning the washing machine for x years, with operating cost of $48 each year, the total amount of operating cost is 48x. We should also add the one-time cost of buying the washing machine, which is $560. The total cost is 560+48x. Since x years have past, the average annual cost is (560+48x)/x, or 48+560/x dollars.

What value of n makes each statement true, pls include work
sammy [17]

Answer:

1. n=2

2. n=12

3. n=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1

12xy³/4xⁿy=3y²/x

12x²y³=12y³xⁿ (cross multiplied)

x²=xⁿ (cancelled out (12y³))

2=n

2

(-3a/2b⁴)³=-27a³/8bⁿ

-27a³/8b¹²=-27a³/8bⁿ (cubed left side)

-216a³bⁿ =-216a³b¹² (cross multiplied)

bⁿ=b¹² (cancelled out (-216a³))

n=12

3

(xy⁶/x⁵yⁿ)²=y⁸/x⁸

x²y¹²/x¹⁰y²ⁿ=y⁸/x⁸ (squared left side)

x²y¹²/x¹⁰y²yⁿ=y⁸/x⁸

y¹⁰/x⁸yⁿ=y⁸/x⁸ (simplified)

y¹⁰x⁸=x⁸yⁿy⁸ (cross multiplied)

y²=yⁿ (cancelled out (x⁸), simplified)

n=2
