Answer:

x = the wight of the large box

y = the weight of the small box

A delivery of 3 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 73 kilograms.

3x + 2y = 73

A delivery of 8 large boxes and 4 small boxes has a total weight of 177 kilograms.

8x + 4y = 177

by solving the system of equations

3x + 2y = 73

8x + 4y = 177

we find

x = 15.5 kg

y = 13.25 kg

the large box weights 15.5 kg.

the small box weights 13.25 kg.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3L + 2S = 73 .....multiply by -2

8L + 4S = 177

---------------------

-6L - 4S = - 146 (result of multiplying by -2)

8L + 4S = 177

--------------------add

2L = 31

L = 31/2

L = 15.5 <=== large boxes weigh 15.5 kg (or 15 1/2 kg)

3L + 2S = 73

3(15.5) + 2S = 73

46.5 + 2S = 73

2S = 73 - 46.5

2S = 26.5

S = 26.5 / 2

S = 13.25 <=== small boxes weigh 13.25 kg (or 13 1/4 kg)

Using the apothem, a, and the perimeter, p, the area, A, of a regular polygon is

A = \dfrac{pa}{2}

You need to calculate the area of the octagon and subtract the area of the square.
The perimeter is 8 times the side.

A = \dfrac{pa}{2} - s^2

A = \dfrac{8 \times 13 \times 15.69}{2} - 13^2

A = 815.88 - 169

A = 646.88

What does a variable allow you to do that you couldn't do before

For example x^2=25
Without x the expression wouldn't exist, it allows you to calculate unknowns for example in a physics experiment using v=u+at

Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To solve for 'x', isolate it</u>. This means to keep 'x' on one side of the equal sign, while moving the other numbers to the other side. The numbers on the other side will tell you what 'x' equals to.

<u>When 'moving' a number to the other side, you cancel it out where it originally is by doing reverse operations</u>. (Reverse operation pairs are addition/subtraction and division/multiplication). To keep an equation balanced, <u>what you do to one side you have to do to the other</u>.

\frac{3}{8}x-17=10        Keep 'x' on the left and move everything over.

\frac{3}{8}x-17+17=10+17        Add 17 to both sides. "-17" cancels out on the left.

\frac{3}{8}x=27        Simplified right side

\frac{3}{8}x/\frac{3}{8}=27/\frac{3}{8}        Because 3/8 originally multiplies with 'x', do the reverse: divide both sides by 3/8.

x=27/\frac{3}{8}        To divide a fraction, change to multiplication and flip the fraction's top and bottom numbers.

x=27*\frac{8}{3}        Combine the factors into one fraction.

x=\frac{27*8}{3}        Multiply 27 by 8 in the numerator.

x=\frac{216}{3}        Simplify the fraction by dividing top by bottom.

x=72        Final answer, solved for 'x'
