Answer:
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem may be solved by a system of equations:
I am going to say that:
x is the number of small boxes used
y is the number of large boxes used
There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped
This means that y = 2x
Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.
This means that 45x + 80y =1435
So we have to solve the following system:
y=2x
45x + 80y =1435
45x + 80 (2x) = 1435
205x = 1435
x= 1435/205
x=7
y=2x= 2(7) = 14
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
Answer : x = 20
Explanation :
3x + 2x +20 + 4x - 20 = 180
(3+2+4=9)
9x + 20 - 20
The 20s cancel each other out because one is positive and the other is negative
9x = 180
9x/9 = 180/9
X = 180 divided by 9
X = 20
45÷9=5 they can put 5 plants in each square feet.
Which number carry’s the s?
3-(s+4)
less than- subtract
sum- addition
since it said 3 less than the sum of a number and 4 that means you would have to add s and 4
