Let a = weight of large box in pounds

Let b = weight of small box in pounds

(1) 65a + 70b=4000

(2) a+b=60

Now we can simultaneously solve these equations.

a = 60 - b. Hence 65(60 - b) + 70b = 4000 So 3900 + 5b = 4000 and 100 = 5b hence b = 20.

SImilarly a = 40. Now we can verify too by putting in the calculated values.

solong [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 5 mph

To find miles per hour, divide miles by hours:

What is the quotient in the polynomial form?
Oxana [17]

First step of a synthetic divison is that we need to carry down the leading coefficient. Here the leading coefficient is 2. So, carry down 2 at the bottom.

Next step is to multiply the divisor -3 with this carry down number 2. So, we have got 3*(-2)= -6 which will place atthe bottom of the next coefficient 4.

Next step is to add this column.

Now repeat the same method again till the last colum.

At the end we have got 0 after the addition. Which means the remainder is 0.

So, the quotient is 2x^2-2x+2.
