Given :
The Mad Hat Company must ship two different-sized boxes: The small ones cost them 45 cents each and weigh 6 ounces, and the large ones weigh 25 ounces and cost $1.20 each.
The total shipment this morning weighed 20 pounds 7 ounces and cost $18.45.
To Find :
How many packages of each size were shipped.
Solution :
We know, 1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, 20 pound = 20×16 = 320 ounces.
Let, number of large and small box are l and s.
So,
25l + 6s = 327 ...1)
0.45s + 1.20l = 18.45 ...2)
Solving both the equations, we get :
x = 9 and y = 17
Therefore, package smaller and big size are 17 and 9 respectively .
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
y=-5/2x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
find the slope by using y2-y1/x2-x1
-1-19/2-(-4)
simplify
-20/8
simplify
-5/2
use slope-intercept form, y=mx+b
since we know the slope, find b
plug in one of the ordered pairs into the equation
-1=(-5/2)(2)+b
simplify
-1= -10/2+b
simplify
-1=-5+b
add 5 to both sides
b=4
plug b into y=-5/2x+b
y=-5/2x+4
1. 5x + 6 = 2 + 3x
-3x. - 3x
-------------------------
2x + 6 = 2
- 6. - 6
-------------------------
2x = -4

2. 2
x = -2
2. 2(6 -2y) = -1(4y-9)
12 -4y = -4y + 9
+4y. +4y
----------------------------
.12 /=\ 9
No solution
3. 2z-6 = 2(z+2) + 10
2z -6 = 2z + 4 + 10
2z -6 = 2z +14
-2z. -2z
-6 /=\ 14
No solution.

Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
r + 2 - 8r = -3 - 8r
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>r</u></em>
- Combine like terms: -7r + 2 = -3 - 8r
- Add 8r to both sides: r + 2 = -3
- Subtract 2 on both sides: r = -5
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in r into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>r</em>: -5 + 2 - 8(-5) = -3 - 8(-5)
- Multiply: -5 + 2 + 40 = -3 + 40
- Add: -3 + 40 = -3 + 40
- Add: 37 = 37
Here we see that 37 does indeed equal 37.
∴ r = -5 is a solution of the equation.
<u>Step 4: Define equation</u>
-4x = x + 5
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract <em>x</em> on both sides: -5x = 5
- Divide -5 on both sides: x = -1
<u>Step 6: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: -4(-1) = -1 + 5
- Multiply: 4 = -1 + 5
- Add: 4 = 4
Here we see that 4 does indeed equal 4.
∴ x = -1 is a solution of the equation.
Answer:
68
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the vanilla first by dividing 420 by 7 and multiplying the quotient by 2 to get 120.
Then find the banana using the equation 35/100 = x/420, cross multiply to get 147.
Add 120 and 147 to get 267.
Subtract 267 from 420 to get 153.
Divide 153 by 9 to get 17.
Get the number of lemon cakes by multiplying 17 by 4.
The number of lemon cakes is 68!
(and chocolate cakes is 85)
