Let x be the smallest number & y the largest:

x + y  = 80
y - 4x = 10
Solving this equation gives :
x =14 & y = 66

This can be solved using a system of equations. 
\left \{ {{x+y=80} \atop {x-4y=10} \right. 

Subtract y from both sides.
x=80-y
Substitute:
80-y-4y=80-5y=10
Subtract 80 from both sides:
5y=70
Divide both sides by 5:
y= \frac{70}{5} =14
Substitute.
x=80-14=66

Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken.If x equals the number of slots in a row explain how the expression
Paul [167]

Answer:

The total number of unbroken / working slots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken

Also given that the number of slots in a row is x

1 row has x slots

3 rows has y slots

on cross multiplication we get y = 3x

ie there are a total of 3x slots in the 3 rows

Given that out of these 3x slots 5 . of the slots are broken

Therefore the total number of working slots = total number of slots - number of slots which are broken

total number of working slots are = 3x - 5

Therefore the given expression is the number of working / good slots

Verify that the points are the vertices of a parallelogram, and find its area. A(1, 1, 3), B(2, −5, 6), C(4, −2, −1), D(3, 4, −4
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Area = 71.3 sq unit

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We will use properties of parallelogram to verify the given vertices.

Property: Have a pair of parallel opposite sides

Hence, vectors AB AD BD BC CD AC. A pair should be parallel:

vectors

AB = A - B = (1, 1 , 3) - ( 2 , -5 , 6 ) = (-1 , 6 , -3)

AD = A - D = (1, 1 , 3) - (3, 4 , -4) = (-2 , -3 , 7)

BC = B - C = (2 , -5 , 6) - (4, -2 , -1) = (-2 ,-3 , 7)

CD = C - D = (4, -2 , -1) - (3, 4 , -4) = (1 , -6 , 3)

Hence we can see  that AB //CD and AD // BC as their unit vector co-efficents are identical/scalar multiple of each other.

b)

Equation of line AB = (1,1,3) + t*(-1 , 6 , -3 )

Point E = (1-t , 1+6t , 3 -3t) ... denotes an position of point E on line AB.

Choose a point on line CD, lets suppose C = ( 4 , -2 , -1 )

Vector EC = ( 1-t , 1+6t , 3-3t ) - (4 , -2 , -1 ) = (-3 -t , 3 +6t , 4 -3t)

For EC to be perpendicular to AB then dot product of AB . EC = 0

Hence,

EC . AB = -1 * (-3-t) -2*(3+6t) -3*(4-3t) = 0

3 + t -6 -12t -12+9t = 0

-2t-3 = 0

t = -3/2

Vector EC = (-3 -t , 3 +6t , 4 -3t) = (-1.5 , -6 , 8.5)

Area = magnitude (AB) * magnitude (EC)

Area = sqrt ((-1)^2 + 6^2 + (-3)^2) * sqrt ((-1.5)^2 + 6^2 + (8.5)^2)

Area = sqrt (46) * sqrt (442) / 2

Area = 71.3 unit^2

A company that makes nails finds that it would sell 42 boxes of nails per month if they are priced at $20 per box. If the compan
denpristay [2]
The answer is D.

If x = number of boxes sold and y = price of nails box, then it is best represented by the equation y = 62 - x.
Checking:
If y = 20 and x = 42, 
20 = 62 - 42
20 = 20

If y = 10 and x = 52.
10 = 62 - 52
10 = 10
