So here is the question,

<span>To avoid having left over items, you must find the highest common factor of both items. This will mean the items divide equally between the bags, but also that you get the most possible bags created. The highest common factor for 24 and 36 is 12. In each of the 12 bags, you can have two candles and three bottles of lotion.</span>

Answer:

Quadrant IV or D

Step-by-step explanation:

It is Quadrant IV or D, since it is a positive x (meaning it must be 1 or 4) and it has a negative y (so 3 or 4). You then find the common answer which is 4 or IV.

A rectangular piece of sheet metal has a length that is 6 in. less than twice the width. a square piece 3 in. on a side is cut f

m_a_m_a [10]

The original width would be 19 and the original length would be 32.

Let w be the width. Then 2w-6 would be the length. However, after cutting a 3-inch square from each corner, both the width and length left over to fold into a box would be 6 inches smaller; thus the dimensions would be w-6 and 2w-6-6 or 2w-12.

Since the section cut out is 3 inches long, 3 will be the height of the box.

Volume is found by multiplying the length, width and height of the box; thus we have:

1014=(w-6)(2w-12)(3)

We multiply the binomials and have:
1014 = [w*2w-12*w-6*2w-6(-12)](3)
1014 = (2w²-12w-12w+72)(3)
1014 = (2w²-24w+72)(3)
1014 = 6w² - 72w + 216

When solving a quadratic equation, we want it set equal to 0. Subtract 1014 from each side:

1014-1014 = 6w² - 72w + 216 - 1014
0 = 6w² - 72w - 798

We will use the quadratic formula to solve this:

$w=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
\\
\\=\frac{--72\pm \sqrt{(-72)^2-4(6)(-798)}}{2(6)}
\\
\\=\frac{72\pm \sqrt{5184--19152}}{12}
\\
\\=\frac{72\pm \sqrt{5184+19152}}{12}
\\
\\=\frac{72\pm \sqrt{24336}}{12}
\\
\\=\frac{72\pm 156}{12}
\\
\\=\frac{72+156}{12} \text{ or } \frac{72-156}{12}
\\
\\=\frac{228}{12} \text{ or } \frac{-84}{12}=19 \text{ or } -7$

Since we cannot have a negative number for a measurement, 19 has to be the width; then 2(19)-6 = 32 would be the length.

One vegetable warehouse had 210 tons of potatoes, another one had 180 tons. 90 tons of potatoes were delivered to the first and

kow [346]

Answer:

The number of days in which the amount in warehouse #2 is 1.2 greater than warehouse #1 is 6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x: number of days

y: amount of potatoes

We can express the amount of potatoes in each warehouse using linear equations:

Warehouse #1: $y_1 = 90x+210$
