Answer:

25 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the inequality:

190 + 60x ≤ 1740  where  x = the number of boxes of books.

60x  ≤  1740 - 190

60x   ≤  1550

x ≤ 25.83.

Answer:

25 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the amount of boxes of books that can be brought up, subtract the weight of the delivery person from the maximum capacity: 1740 - 190 = 1550 lbs left to fill by the boxes

To find the amount of books able to be brought up, divide the capacity left by the weight of each of the boxes: 1550/60 = 25.8 books able to be carried up, without exceeding, meaning that the delivery person can bring up 25 boxes of books without the service elevator collapsing

Hope this helps :)

In general, what can you conclude about a pair of angles that are both congruent and supplementary?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Both angles are right angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles sum to 180°. Since we know that both angles are congruent, let's call them x and x. We can write the following equation:

x + x = 180

2x = 180

x = 90°

Therefore, we can conclude that both angles are right angles.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

y=2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find the slope

6x-3y=21

-3y=-6x+21 divide both sides by -3

y=2x-7

slope is 2

2.y-5=2(x-4)

  y-5=2x-8

  y=2x-8+5

marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If A, B, and C are in the ratio of 2:3:5 and they are each getting some amount of money in that ratio, then to find the total amount of money they split is found in Ax + Bx + Cx and we need to solve for x. What we are told is that the smallest share = 210 and obviously A is the smallest share. Therefore,

2x = 210 and x = 105.

The total sum = 210 + 3(105) + 5(105) so

Total sum = 210 + 315 + 525

Total sum = 1050 and

C's share is 525 and

B's share is 315
