Let the weight of the full Volume of nails in the box be W.
Let the weight of the box be B.

2/3 W  + B =  130 ........i          From the first statement.
3/8 W  + B =      74 ......ii         From the second statement.

Equation (i)  Minus (ii)

2/3 W  - 3/8 W + B  - B =  130 - 74
(16W  - 9W) / 24                 = 56

7W / 24  =  56.
W        =  56 * 24 / 7
W        =    192  Pounds.

Substituting V = 64 in equation (i)
2/3 W  + B =  130
2/3 * 192  + B =  130
2 * 64  + B =  130
128  + B =  130
B =  130 -128 = 2.

Therefore, weight of box, B = 2 pounds.

One positive integer is 3 less than twice another. the sum of their squares is 233. find the integers.
lana66690 [7]
Let the two integers be x and y
x-3= 2y
x=2y+3______(1)

x²+y²= 233_____(2)
sub eqn (1) into (2)
{2y+3}²+y²=233
4y² + 12y +9 +y²=233
5y²+12y+9-233=0
5y²+12y-224=0
y= -8 or 5.6
recall they are positive integers so y=5.6
now sub y=5.6 into eqn (1)
x=2(5.6)+3 = 11.2+3=14.2

the two integers are 14.2 and 5.6

What is the slope-intercept form of the function described by this table
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

y = - 3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 ordered pairs from table

m = \frac{-5-1}{3-1} = \frac{-6}{2} = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c use any ordered pair from the table

Using (3, - 5 ), then

- 5 = - 9 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 9 = 4

y = - 3x + 4 ← equation of line
