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.

Which translation for: y = (x+3)^2+4<br><br> If you can't see the picture zoom in.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original graph of y = x^2 has a vertex at (0,0)

The formula for graph translations is y = (x-#)^2+#

The number inside the parentheses is a horizontal translation.

So, we are given y = (x-(-3))^2+#

The vertex of the graph moves 3 points left, since the number is negative (-3).

The number at the end of the equation is a vertical translation.

So, we are given y = (x+3)^2+4

The vertex of the graph moves 4 points up, since the number is positive (4).

The new vertex is at (-3,4)

Find the 37th term of 352,345,338
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a_{37}=100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A sequence 352,345,338.

First term = 352

Common difference = 345-352 = -7

We need to find the 37th term of the sequence.

The nth term of an AP is given by :

a_n=a+(n-1)d\\\\a_{37}=352+36\times (-7)\\\\a_{37}=100

So, the 37th term of the sequence is 100.

Find the missing symbol: 1/6 ? 1/2<br>&lt;<br>&gt;<br>=<br>please help​
Amanda [17]

Answer:

1/6 < 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger the denominator, the smaller that fraction would be. Both of the numerators are equal, so we don't have to worry about that. Since 6 is larger than 2, we know that 1/2 is larger than 1/6. hope I helped:))
