Answer: The mass of each passenger is 550 kg.

The mass of front decoration = 200 Kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mass of each passenger be 'x'.

Let the mass of front decoration be 'y'.

So, Number of passenger = 6

Mass of 6 passengers and front decoration = 3500 kg.

Number of passengers = 4

Mass of 4 passengers and front decoration = 2400 kg.

According to question, it becomes,

6x+y=3500\\\\\implies y=3500-6x----------------(1)\\\\4x+y=2400\\\\\implies y=2400-4x---------------(2)

so, From Eq(1) and Eq(2), we have,

3500-6x=y=2400-4x\\\\3500-6x=2400-4x\\\\3500-2400=-4x+6x\\\\1100=2x\\\\x=\frac{1100}{2}=550

Hence, the mass of each passenger is 550 kg.

The mass of front decoration = 3500-550(6)=200 Kg.

One math class has a greater number of students than the other. However,
Elden [556K]
The classes could each have proportions of 5 boys to 6 girls, but they don’t necessarily have to be exactly 5 to 6. The number could 5 to 6 for one class, but it could also be 10 to 12 for another class, since 10 to 12 is a scale factor of 5 to 6.

Find the perimeter and area of the parallelogram shown below
Alona [7]

Answer:

The perimeter of the rhombus is 218. And I think the area is 4320. Wait for more responses to be sure also for the trapezoid I used 54 as my base added them two times then multiplied it by 55 I didn't know if I had to do multiply it by 50 so after I multiplied it by 55 then divided it by two and added it to the area of the triangle in the figure. I'm not sure if I make sense but I know for sure the perimeter is 218.
