Large box weighs 18.25 kilograms and small box weighs 15.25 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Large box = x

Small box = y

According to given statement;

2x+6y=128    Eqn 1

5x+3y=137     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 2;

2(5x+3y=137)\\10x+6y=274\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3

(10x+6y)-(2x+6y)=274-128\\10x+6y-2x-6y= 146\\8x=146

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{146}{8}\\x=18.25

Putting x=18.25 in Eqn 1

2(18.25)+6y=128\\36.5+6y=128\\6y=128-36.5\\6y=91.5

Dividing both sides by 6

\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{91.5}{6}\\y=15.25

Large box weighs 18.25 kilograms and small box weighs 15.25 kilograms.

Advocard [28]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 1.117

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the two equations:

p(x) = 5x² - 3

q(x) = 2x + 1

On the graph below, the positive point of intersection is at (1.117, 3.233).

Positive x-value = 1.117.

What is the slope of (-4,6) and (2,-5)
Dominik [7]

Answer:

-11/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope can be found with this equation:

(y₁ - y₂) / (x₁ - x₂)

What this essentially tells us to do is to put one set of the x and y coordinates into x₁ and y₁, respectfully. Then, put the other set of x and y points as x₂ and y₂.

With this scenerio, we can substitute the given points into the formula.

(6 - (-5)) / (-4 - 2) =

(6 + 5 ) / (-6) =

11 / (-6) =

-11/6

The slope is  - 11/6
