Answer: 1. 28 2. 25
Hope this helps!
Didn't know if you wanted the explanation or not, so sorry. But I can put an explanation if you need it.
A)Plugging in our initial statement values of y = 16 when x = 10, we get:
16 = 10k
Divide each side by 10 to solve for k:
16/10=
k = 1.6
Solve the second part of the variation equation:
Because we have found our relationship constant k = 1.6, we form our new variation equation:
y = 1.6x
Since we were given that x, we have
y = 1.6()
y = 0
B)Plugging in our initial statement values of y = 1 when x = 15, we get:
1 = 15k
Divide each side by 15 to solve for k:
1/15
=15k
k = 0.066666666666667
Answer:
12 small boxes
8 large boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of small boxes shipped
let y be the number of large boxes shipped
This means:
the total number of boxes is 20, so
x + y = 20
the number of 50 pound boxes is x and the number of 100 pound boxes is y and together there are 1400 pounds, so
50x + 100y = 1400
Then, solve
First, simplify the equation 50x + 100y = 1400 by dividing both sides by 50
x + 2y = 28
Now, subtract the two equations:
x + 2y = 28
- (x + y = 20)
y = 8
Now plug this into the equation x + y = 20
x + 8 = 20
x = 12
So the number of small boxes is 12 and the number of large boxes is 8.
