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

This chart may seem confusing, but it's not too bad once you get the hang of it. It is known as a mileage chart and it shows the distances between any two cities of this current list.

For example, the distance between Bedford and Cambridge is 29 miles because of the "29" in the very top block. This is the intersection between the "bedford" column and the "cambridge" row. Another example: The distance from Cambridge to Haverhill is 48 miles. Look in the "cambridge" column and the "haverhill" row.

With this in mind, we just need to look at the right rows and columns to find the distances to add up. See the set of attached images below. Figure 1 shows me marking the "cambridge" column and the "royston" row. In this row and column combo is the number 13. So the distance between these two cities is 13 miles.

Then onto figure 2 which shows the distance between Royston and Huntingdon is 21 miles. Figure 3 shows the distance from Huntingdon to Cambridge is 15 miles.

Adding the distances gives: 13+21+15 = 49

So that is why the total round trip distance is 49 miles.

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

You first multiply -2(-2) which will be 4 since a negative times a negative is a positive. Next you subtract 4 and -4 which is 0. Lastly you bring down the y which is equal to 0.
