A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each

small box of paper weighs 50 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. There were 4 more large boxes shipped than small boxes and the total weight of all boxes was 1750 pounds. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

50x+80y=1750 and y = x+4 can be used to determine the number of small boxes and large boxes of paper shipped where x represent the number of small boxes of paper and y represent the number of large boxes of paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Weight of small box of paper = 50 pounds

Weight of large box of paper = 80 pounds

Total weight of boxes = 1750 pounds

Let,

x represent the number of small boxes of papers.

y represent the number of large boxes of papers.

According to given statement;

50x+80y=1750

y = x+4  

50x+80y=1750 and y = x+4 can be used to determine the number of small boxes and large boxes of paper shipped where x represent the number of small boxes of paper and y represent the number of large boxes of paper.

A1,a2,a3....a30-each of these 30 sets has 5 elements.b1,b2,....bn-each of these n sets has 3 elements.union of a1,a2...a30=union
zzz [600]
 the number of elements in the union of the A sets is:5(30)−rAwhere r is the number of repeats.Likewise the number of elements in the B sets is:3n−rB
Each element in the union (in S) is repeated 10 times in A, which means if x was the real number of elements in A (not counting repeats) then 9 out of those 10 should be thrown away, or 9x.  Likewise on the B side, 8x of those elements should be thrown away. so now we have:150−9x=3n−8x⟺150−x=3n⟺50−x3=n
Now, to figure out what x is, we need to use the fact that the union of a group of sets contains every member of each set.  if every element in S is repeated 10 times, that means every element in the union of the A's is repeated 10 times.  This means that:150 /10=15is the number of elements in the the A's without repeats counted (same for the Bs as well).So now we have:50−15 /3=n⟺n=45

How many solutions does the system below have?<br> y=1/2x+1<br> 2y - x = 2
kvasek [131]

Answer:

infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite these equations as

y = (1/2)x + 1

2y = x + 2

and then solve the second for y:  y = (1/2)x + 1.  Note that these end results are identical.  The two lines coincide; that is, one lies right on top of the other.  Thus, there  are infinitely many solutions.
