Answer: b) they loaded 112356 lbs of cargo

Step-by-step explanation:

When a boat or an object floats in water, the volume of water that it displaces is equivalent to its weight.

When moving into the port, the cargo boat displaced 2200 ft³ of water. Since the density of water is 62.42 lb/ft³ and mass = density × volume, then the mass of the cargo boat on entering the port is

2200 × 62.42 = 137324 lbs

On leaving the port, it displaces 4000 ft³ of water. The mass of the cargo boat on leaving the port is

4000 × 62.42 = 249680 lbs

The difference in both masses is

249680 - 137324 = 112356 lbs

Therefore, they loaded 112356 lbs of cargo

<h3>Answer:</h3>

none of these has "no solution"

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A. The solution is (8/3, 3)

B. The second equation is -1/2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.

C. The solution is (-4, -2)

D. The solution is (4, -2)

E. The second equation is 2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.

_____

A system of equations will have "no solution" when it describes parallel lines—lines that do not intersect. In standard form, such equations are recognizable by their different constants. For example,

  • 3x -4y = -4
  • 3x -4y = 20 . . . . . . 20 is different from -4

have different constants, so the equations describe parallel lines.

We could multiply one of these by -2 and the system would still be "inconsistent"—having no solution.

  • 3x -4y = -4
  • -6x +8y = -40

Find the slope of the line that passes through these two points: (- 1, 0) and (4, - 2) .
I am Lyosha [343]
Slope is vertical change over horizontal change. Since coordinates conveniently give both the horizontal and vertical coordinates of a points, we can use the coordinates of both points to differentiate, or find the change horizontally and the change vertically between the two points.

Simplify the expression 1.8-0.2x equallys -1.6. Step by step plzzz I will give you 100 points
posledela

1.8 - 0.2x = -1.6         Subtract 1.8 on both sides

1.8 - 1.8 - 0.2x = -1.6 - 1.8

-0.2x = -3.4        Divide -0.2 on both sides

\frac{-0.2x}{-0.2}=\frac{-3.4}{-0.2}

x = 17
