volume of each small box is 6 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 12 cubic feet. There were twice as many small boxes shipped as large boxes shipped and the total volume of all boxes was 168 cubic feet. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer:

x is the number of large boxes shipped

y is the number of small boxes shipped

7 large boxes were shipped

14 small boxes were shipped

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of each small box is 6 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 12 cubic feet.

There were twice as many small boxes shipped as large boxes shipped : so if x large boxes , and y small boxes were shipped, then ,y =  2x small boxes were also shipped.

the total volume of all boxes was 168 cubic feet, which means:

y = 2x ...................(1)

6y + 12x = 168 .......(2),

then, replace y to 2x in the second equation

6(2x) + 12(x) = 168,

12x + 12x = 168,

24x = 168,

x = \frac{168}{24} = 7,

since the small boxes = 2x,

2(7) = 14 boxes, so there are 14 small boxes being shipped,

and x = 7, so there are 7 large boxes being shipped, since x is the number of large boxes being shipped.

Does this table represent a function or not? Why or why not?
Basile [38]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

For something to be a function, there must be no duplicate x values, or if there is they must represent the same y. The table has a duplicate value of 2 so it is not a function.

I hope this helps!
