Answer: the number of small boxes shipped is 14 and the number of large boxes shipped is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small boxes shipped and

Let y represent the number of large boxes shipped.

A total of 26 boxes of paper were shipped. This means that

x + y = 26

The volume of each small box is 7 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 13 cubic feet. The combined volume of small and large boxes shipped is

7x + 13y = 254 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(26 - y) + 13y = 254

182 - 7y + 13y = 254

- 7y + 13y = 254 - 182

6y = 72

y = 72/6 = 12

x = 26 - y = 26 - 12

x = 14

A boat travels 45 miles east (right) then 60 miles north (up), how far is it from the starting point?​
tekilochka [14]

A boat travels 45 miles east then 60 miles north, how far is it from where it started. Draw this. The hypotenuse of the right triangle is the square root (45^2)+(60^2)=square root of 2025=3600=square root of 5625, or 75 miles.

What is the nth term of the geometric sequence -2,10,-50
poizon [28]

Answer:

T_n=-1(-5)^n^-^1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

A geometric sequence;

-2,10,-50

Required to determine the nth term

The nth term in a geometric sequence is given by the formula;

T_n=a_1r^n^-^1

where a_1 is the first term and r is the common ratio;

In this case;

a_1=-2

r = 10 ÷ -2

  = -5

Therefore;

To get the nth term in the given geometric sequence we use;

T_n=-1(-5)^n^-^1

Thus, the nth term is T_n=-1(-5)^n^-^1
