Answer:

The delivery person can bring up max 16 boxes at one time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The elevator can only hold max 850 lbs, and the delivery man weighs 180 lbs.

850-180=670

That means the delivery man can have up to 670 lbs of boxes on the elevator.

670/40=16.75

Which means that the delivery man can hold up to 16 boxes max at one time.

A relation is what it sounds like. A relation between numbers and/or objects.

A function is just a special type of relationship. In order for a relation to be a function, it must have only one output for one input.

On a graph, the x-axis is the input and the y-axis is the output. If you draw a vertical line through a point on the x-axis and there is only one point on that vertical line, then it is a function.

The only graph that meets these criteria is the first graph.

If y varies directly as x and y = 21 when x = 5, find x when y = 42.
Lorico [155]

Answer: 10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

varies directly means: \frac{y}{x} = k

Step 1: solve for k   ⇒  \frac{21}{5} = k

Step 2: plug in the given value and k to solve for the missing value: \frac{42}{x} = \frac{21}{5}

42(5) = 21(x)

\frac{42(5)}{21} = \frac{21(x)}{21}

2(5) = x

10  = x

The combined area of a pair of congruent rectangles can be represented, in square units, by the expression 18y^2-818y 2 −8. The
sveta [45]

Answer:

Perimeter = 12y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 18y^2 - 8 -- two rectangles

Required

Determine the perimeter of one of the rectangles

First, calculate the area (A) of 1 rectangle

A =\frac{1}{2}Area

A =\frac{1}{2}(18y^2 - 8)

A =9y^2 - 4

Express as difference of two squares

A =(3y - 2)(3y+2)

Area is calculated as:

A = Length * Width

So, by comparison:

Length = 3y - 2

Width = 3y + 2

The perimeter is:

Perimeter = 2 *(Length + Width)

Perimeter = 2 *(3y-2+3y+2)

Collect Like Terms

Perimeter = 2 *(3y+3y-2+2)

Perimeter = 2 *(6y)

Perimeter = 12y
