A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. a delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a t

otal weight of 120 kilograms. a delivery of 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes has a total weight of 234 kilograms. how much does each type of box weigh?

Let's let the weight of a large box be L, and the weight of a small box be S.

We know that 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes is 120kg, so:
5L + 3S = 120

We also know that 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes is 234kg, so:
7L + 9S = 234

You can multiply the first equation by 3 to get:
15L + 9S = 360

See how now both equations have 9S? We can now subtract one from the other:
(15L+9S) - (7L+9S) = 360-234
8L = 126
L = 15.75

Now sub this value back into an equation:
(5x15.75) + 3S = 120
3S = 41.25
S = 13.75

Double check these values
(7x15.75) + (9x13.75)
= 110.25 + 123.75
=234, which is consistent with above.

So a large box is 15.75kg, and a small box is 13.75kg.

Hope this helped

What is the perimeter P of △DEF to the nearest whole number?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

perimeter of ΔDEF  ≈ 32

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the triangle, we will follow the steps below:

First, we will find the length of the side of the triangle DE and FF

To find the length DE, we will use the sine rule

angle E  = 49 degrees

e= DF = 10

angle F = 42 degrees

f= DE =?

we can now insert the values into the formula

=  

cross-multiply

f sin 49° = 10 sin 42°

Divide both-side by sin 49°

f = 10 sin 42° / sin 49°

f≈8.866

which implies DE ≈8.866

We will now proceed to find side EF

To do that we need to find angle D

angle D + angle E + angle F = 180°  (sum of interior angle)

angle D + 49° + 42° = 180°

angle D + 91° = 180°

angle D= 180° - 91°

angle D = 89°

Using the sine rule to find the side EF

angle E = 49 degrees

e= DF = 10

ange D = 89 degrees

d= EF = ?

we can now proceed to insert the values into the formula

=  

cross-multiply

d sin 49° = 10 sin 89°

divide both-side of the equation by sin 49°

d= 10 sin 89°/sin 49°

d≈13.248

This implies that length EF = 13.248

perimeter of ΔDEF = length DE + length EF + length DF

                                  =13.248   +  8.866  + 10

                                   =32.144

                                    ≈ 32 to the nearest whole number

perimeter of ΔDEF  ≈ 32

              Solve the Inequality.

\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}}

              x<-4

\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{How\:to\:Solve:-}}}}

                      First, add 6x on both sides:

-2x+3+6x<-13

Add the x's:

4x+3<-13

Now, subtract 3 on both sides:

4x<-13-3

4x<-16

Divide by 4 on both sides:

x<-4

So the values of x that are less than -4 will make the given inequality true.

<h3>Good luck.</h3>
