36-4.5x+36=102-7.5x-60
72-4.5x=42-7.5x
72+3.5x=42
3.5x=-30
x=8.57

umka21 [38]

Answer:

4.24 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-component of the displacement after the turn is ...

d2·cos(θ) = (3.38 km)cos(65.3°) ≈ 1.41239 km

Adding this to the displacement before the turn, we have ...

x-component of displacement = 2.83 km + 1.41 km = 4.24 km

Selmas class making a care package to give to victims of a natural disaster.Selma packs one box in 5 minutes and has already pac

bixtya [17]

Each of them need to work 105 minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

Explanation

Suppose, they need to work for $x$ minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

Selma packs one box in 5 minutes and Trudy packs one box in 7 minutes.

So, the number of boxes packed by Selma in that $x$ minutes $=\frac{x}{5}$ and the number of boxes packed by Trudy in $x$ minutes $=\frac{x}{7}$

Given that, Selma and Trudy have already packed 12 and 18 boxes.

Now if each of them packed the same number of boxes, then the equation will be......

$12+\frac{x}{5}=18+\frac{x}{7}\\ \\ \frac{x}{5}-\frac{x}{7}= 18-12\\ \\ \frac{7x-5x}{35}=6\\ \\ \frac{2x}{35}=6\\ \\ 2x= 210\\ \\ x= \frac{210}{2}=105$

So, each of them need to work 105 minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.
