The first shipping by company charges a fee of $20 to ship a medium box, plus an additional $1 per pound. A second company charg

es $15 for the same size box, plus an additional $2 per pound. At a certain weight, the two shipping methods will cost the same amount. How much will it cost

Answer:

Total cost=$25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can derive two expressions as follows;

Total cost for the First shipping company=Medium box charges+total additional charges

where;

Medium box charges=$20

Total additional charges=Charges per pound×number of additional pounds (n)

Total additional charges=1×n=n

replacing;

Total cost for the First shipping company=20+n....equation 1

Total cost for the second shipping company=Medium box charges+total additional charges

where;

Medium box charges=$15

Total additional charges=Charges per pound×number of additional pounds (n)

Total additional charges=2×n=2 n

replacing;

Total cost for the First shipping company=15+2 n....equation 2

Equating equation 1 and equation 2

15+2 n=20+n

2 n-n=20-15

n=5

Replace the value for n in equation 2

Total cost for the First shipping company=15+2 n....equation 2

Total cost=15+(2×5)=$25

If a = 7 and b = 11, what is the measure of ∠B? (round to the nearest tenth of a degree) A) 32.5° B) 39.2° C) 50.5° D) 57.5°
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

D) 57.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question is not complete. So, let's suppose it is a right angle triangle then, we can apply Pythagoras theorem to calculate the hypotenuse or the third side.

Pythagoras Theorem = c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}

a = 7 and b = 11

a^{2} = 49

b^{2} = 121

Plugging in the values, we will get:

c^{2} = 49 + 121

c^{2} = 170

c = \sqrt{170}

To calculate the unknown angle B, we can use law of sine.

Law of sine = \frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB} = \frac{c}{sinC}

So,

\frac{c}{sinC} = \frac{b}{sinB}

\frac{\sqrt{170} }{sin90} =  \frac{11}{sinB}

Sin90 = 1

sinB = \frac{11}{\sqrt{170} }

B = sin^{-1} (\frac{11}{\sqrt{170} })

B = 57.5°

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalen
Alisiya [41]
The answer is <span>2(–4y + 13) – 3y = –29

Step 1: Express </span><span>x from the second equation
Step 2: Substitute x into the first equation:

The system of equations is:
</span><span>2x – 3y = –29 
x + 4y = 13

Step 1: 
</span>The second equation is:    x + 4y = 13
Rearrange it to get x:         x = - 4y + 13

Step 2:
The first equation is:          2x – 3y = –29 
The second equation is:    x = - 4y + 13
Substitute x from the second equation into the first one:
2(-4y + 13) - 3y = -29

Therefore, the second choice is correct.
