Answer:

28.5 and 32.5

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation to solve:

x + (x+4) =61

2x + 4 = 61 combine like terms

2x = 57 subtract 4 from both sides

x = 28.5 divide 2 from both sides

28.5 is the smaller number

the larger number is 4 more so:

28.5 + 4 = 32.5

32.5 is the larger number

check your work:

28.5 + 32.5 = 61

A truck is being filled with cube-shaped packages that have side lengths of 1/4 foot. The part of the truck that is being filled

n200080 [17]

Answer:

24000 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Side lengths of cube = $\frac{1}{4} \ foot$

The part of the truck that is being filled is in the shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions of 8 ft x 6 1/4 ft x 7 1/2 ft.

Question asked:

What is the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck?

Solution:

First of all we will find volume of cube, then volume of rectangular prism and then simply divide the volume of prism by volume of cube to find the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck.

$Volume\ of\ cube =a^{3}$

$=\frac{1}{4} \times\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{64} \ cubic \ foot$

Length = 8 foot, Breadth = $6\frac{1}{4} =\frac{25}{4} \ foot$ , Height = $7\frac{1}{2} =\frac{15}{2} \ foot$

$Volume\ of\ rectangular\ prism =length\times breadth\times height$

$=8\times\frac{25}{4} \times\frac{15}{2} \\=\frac{3000}{8} =375\ cubic\ foot$

The greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck = Volume of prism divided by volume of cube

The greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck = $\frac{375}{\frac{1}{64} } =375\times64=24000\ pieces\ of\ cube$

Thus, the greatest number of packages that can fit in the truck is 24000 pieces.

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form Slope=-4 Point=(2,-4)

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

y=2x-8

f(x)=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To write in slope-intercept form using this information, first use the point slope formula.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m is slope.

y+4=2(x-2)

Use distributive property on the right side.

y+4=2x-4

Now, subtract 4 from both sides.

y+4-4=2x-4-4

y=2x-8

Written using function notation:

f(x)=2x-8

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
