Let <span>L </span>be the weight of a large box and S be the weight of a small box.  So we can set up two equations: 2L + 3S = 834L + 8S = 197 Solve for <span>L </span>or S in one of the equations and substitute it into the other equation and find the other unknown. 2L = 83 - 3SL = (83 - 3S)/2 4(83 - 3S)/2 + 8S = 197166 - 6S + 8S = 1972S = 31
S = 15.5 kg<span>
L = (83 - 3(15.5))/2 = 18.25 kg</span>

Set this up as a system of equations.  The first will be the 2 large boxes plus the 3 small boxes weigh 83 kg, the second will be the 4 large boxes plus the 8 small weigh 197 kg.  2L + 3s = 83  and   4L + 8s = 197.  Solve one of them for either variable.  Let's solve the second one for L:  L = -2s + 49.25.  Sub that value of L into the first equation: 2(-2s + 49.25) + 3s = 83.  Distribute through the parenthesis to get -4s + 98.5 + 3s = 83.  Combine like terms to get -s =-15.5.  or s = 15.5.  So a small box weights 15.5 kg.  A large box is -2(15.5) + 49.5, which is 18.5 kg.

Answer:

Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost. The equation looks like this: Item or service cost x sales tax (in decimal form) = total sales tax. Add the total sales tax to the Item or service cost to get your total cost.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

3:2 , 3/2,  3 to 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The best one is 3:2 cause it is the most used way to write a ratio. 3:2 also means 3 divided by 2 or 3 out of 2 so that's why you would use the other 2.

Ship A receives a distress signal from the southwest, and ship B receives a distress from the same vessel from the north. At wha
Fiesta28 [93]

I've attached an image showing the coordinates of Ship A and Ship B.

Answer:

distressed vessel is located at (1, 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, we can see that;

Coordinate of ship A is (3, 4)

Coordinate of ship B is (1, 1)

Now, we are told that Ship A receives a distress signal from the southwest, and ship B receives a distress from the same vessel from the north.

This means that the distressed ship is somewhere in between ship A & B.

To solve this, we will extend the arrow line from Ship A in that same SW direction and we will do the same for ship B in the same North direction. Their point of intersection is where the distressed ship is located.

Now, if we do that, we will see that they will intersect at the point; (1, 1.5)

Thus,distressed vessel is located at (1, 1.5)

Robert collected 330 aluminum cans. If 100 aluminum cans weigh 4 pounds, and the recycling center is paying 25 cents a pound, ho
labwork [276]
First, determine the weight of 330 cans with the given conditions,
                    (330 cans) x (4 lbs / 100 cans) = 13.2 lbs
Then, the price is determined by multiplying this weight to the price that the recycling center is paying,
                         (13.2 lbs) x (25 cents / lb)  = 330 cents = $3.3
Thus, Robert will be paid $3.3.
