40 boxes would weigh would weigh 120 pounds

To answer this, we must first assume that each box weighs the same. If this is true, you would make a rate of how many pounds in 15 boxes: 45 lbs/15 boxes. From here determine the weight per box by dividing 45 by 15. This means each box is 3 pounds. Multiply this by the total number of boxes (3 x 40). This gives you a total weight of 120 pounds for 40 boxes.

Find the solution to the system of equations

Neko [114]

Answer:

x=1

y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since -x-3=y subsitue that in at the top equation

$- x - 3 = - 7x + 3$

$- x = - 7x + 6$

$6x = 6$

$x = 1$

Plug x=1 back into the equation to solve for y.

$y = - 7(1) + 3$

$y = - 4$

Which of the following is the difference of two squares

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

A difference of squares has the general form

a² - b²

where the terms on either side of the subtraction ( the difference ) are both perfect squares.

The only one fitting this description is

16a² - 4y²

= (4a)² - (2y)² ← difference of squares

Maria compared the slope of the function f(x)=(-6x-21) to the slope of the linear function that fits the values in the table bel

raketka [301]

Answer:

b. both functions have a negative slope

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=-6x-21$

This function is of the form $y=mx+b$ , where $m=-6$ is the slope and $b=-21$ is the y-intercept.

We can also determine the slope of the function in the table using any two points, say $(0,7)\:and\:(2,6)$ .

The slope formula is given by,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

If $(x_1,y_1)=(0,7)\:and\:(x_2,y_2)=(2,6)$ , then,

$m=\frac{6-7}{2-0}$

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$ .

We can see that both functions have a negative slope.

The correct answer is B.

Find the exact value of the composition. arccos (cos pi/2)

Genrish500 [490]

<span>arccos (cos pi/2)=?
</span>cos pi/2=0, arccos (0)=?, we know that cos pi/2=0, so cos^-1 (o)= Pi/2, but cos^-1 (o)=arccos (0), so arccos (cos pi/2)=Pi/2
