Answer: X = kuv/ (u+v)
that means that x(u+v)/(uv) = k, a constant. so you want x such that,
x(3+3)/(3*3) = 3(3+1)/(3*1)
x=6
3. is the answer, as you can see D is one and a half units to the right of the y axis at a height of 3 units and C is one and a half units to the left of the y axis with the same height. So D is "reflected" about the y axis and only the x coordinate changes sign from positive to negative.
Subtracting the weight of the smaller brick from the larger gives us the weight difference:
4 3/8 lb - 2 1/3 lb. The two denominators are 8 and 3 respectively, resulting in an LCD of 24. Thus, our problem becomes:
4 9/24 - 2 8/24, which equals 2 1/24 lb. The weight difference is 2 1/24 lb.
X - the number of loads by land carriers,
y - the number of loads by air carriers;
The system of inequalities:
x + y ≤ 150
2,000 x + 1,250 y ≤ 180,000
