A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.

Each small box can hold 25 books and each large box can hold 40 books. A total of 7 boxes were sent which can hold 250 books altogether. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer:

Answer:

\{ {{20x+30y=280} \atop {y=4x}} .{

y=4x

20x+30y=280

.

Where xx is the number of small boxes sent and yy is the number of large boxes sent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be xx the number of small boxes sent and yy the number of large boxes sent.

Since each small box can hold 20 books (20x20x ), each large box can hold 30 books (30y30y )and altogether can hold a total of 280 books, we can write the following equation to represent this:

20x+30y=28020x+30y=280

According to the information provided in the exercise, there were 4 times as many large boxes sent as small boxes. This can be represented with this equation:

y=4xy=4x

Therefore, the system of equation that be used to determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent, is:

\{ {{20x+30y=280} \atop {y=4x}} .{

y=4x

20x+30y=280

.

A rectangular garden must have a perimeter of 160 feet and an area of at least 1300 square feet. Describe the possible lengths o
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: The lengths of the garden are 57.32 feet and 22.68 feet (approximately)

Step-by-step explanation: The area has been given as 1300 which means,

Area = L x W

1300 = L x W ———(1)

Also the perimeter has been given as 160, hence we also have

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

160 = 2(L + W)

80 = L + W ———(2)

From equation (2), make L the subject of the equation

L = 80 - W

Substitute for the value of L into equation (1)

1300 = L x W

1300 = (80 - W) x W

1300 = 80W - W^2

Rearranging the equation we now have;

W^2 - 80W + 1300 = 0

Since we cannot factorize we shall apply the quadratic equation formula to solve for W. Please refer to the attachment for details of this.

Having calculated the value of W to be either 57.32 or 22.68, we can now find the value of L as follows;

Substitute for the value of W into equation (1)

1300 = L x W

1300 = L x 57.32

Divide both sides of the equation by 57.32

22.68 = L.

(Note that if we take the other value of W which is 22.68, the value of L shall be 57.32)

Since the area of the rectangular garden must be AT LEAST 1300 square feet we shall use the exact values for;

Length = 57.32 feet

Width = 22.68 feet

777dan777 [17]

The statement that best describes the information about the medians would be: the class median and exam median are almost the same.

<h3>Median of a Data Set on a Box Plot</h3>
  • The median of any data distribution that is plotted on a box plot is indicated by the vertical line that divides the rectangular box in the box plot.

Thus:

  • The median for class is 84
  • The median for exam is 85.

Therefore, the statement that best describes the information about the medians would be: the class median and exam median are almost the same.
