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)

What is the value of x?enter your answer in the box .
Katarina [22]

By pythagoras Theorem.

x² +12²=13²

=>x² +144 =169

=>x² =169-144=25

=>x=√25=5 unit.

Hence x=5 is your answer.

Hope it helps...

GIVEN PARALLELOGRAM ABCD, FIND THE LENGTHS AND ANGLES REQUIRED
Scrat [10]
Co-interior properties. 180 degrees = two co-interior angles.

180 = (2y+50) + (3y+40)
180 = 5y + 90
90 = 5y
/5     /5
18 = y

Angle 1: 2y + 50
              2(18) + 50
              36 + 50
              86

Angle 2: 3y + 40
              3(18) + 40
              54 + 40
              94

86 + 94 = 180 so it is true.

Now the sides.
On a parallelogram, 5x+2 and 8x-7 must be equal

5x + 2 = 8x - 7
        2 = 3x - 7
        9 = 3x
       /3    /3
        3 = x

Side 1: 5x + 2
            5(3) + 2
           15 + 2
           17

Side 2: 8x - 7
            8(3) - 7
            24 - 7
            17

Both sides are equal; 17.

Angle 1: 86
Angle 2: 94
Sides: 17

A trapezoid has a 60-degree angle and a 45-degree angle. What are the other angles?
pentagon [3]
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral which means the sum of the angles should be equal to 360 degrees. The other angles therefore should have the sum of 360 - 60 - 45 = 255 degrees. Since we do not have the figure it would be hard to specify the measure of each angle.
