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 are the values of x and y if this equation is true?<br><br> 22(x + yi) + (28 + 4i) 72 – 62i
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

x = 2

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

22(x + yi) + (28 + 4i) = 72 - 62i

By solving this equation further,

22x + 22yi + 28 + 4i = 72 - 62i

(22x + 28) + (22y + 4)i = 72 - 62i

Now both the sides of the equation is in the form of complex number,

By comparing real and imaginary parts given on both the sides,

22x + 28 = 72

22x = 72 - 28

22x = 44

x = 2

22y + 4 = -62

22y = -62 - 4

22y = -66

y = -3

Therefore, x = 2 and y = -3 are the values for which the given equation is true.

Find the compound interest on 50000 for 9 month at 8 %
Ahat [919]

Answer:The answer is 5, 414.52

Since number of years isn't imputed, it will be assumed it's for 1 year

Hence using Compound interest formula

A = P( 1 + r/n)^not

Inputting values

A = 5000( 1 + 0.08/9) ^ 9*1

A = 5, 414.52

Many companies "grade on a bell curve" to compare the performance of their managers and professional workers. This forces the us
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

10% A grades     80% B grades      10% C grades

This year, managers with scores less than 35 received C's and those with scores above 425 received A's.

The mean has to be middle of two corresponding cutoff value

              \mu = \dfrac{35+425}{2}

                      μ = 230

Cutoff Off C grade corresponds with the area of 0.10 is table A.

corresponding z- score according to Table A

           Z = -1.28

now, standard deviation

    z = \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

    \sigma= \dfrac{x-\mu}{z}

    \sigma= \dfrac{35-230}{-1.28}

       σ = 152.3

Correct answer is option A
