Answer:

  A: 244 pounds

  B: 122 pounds

  C: 274 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have A+B+C = 640; A=2B; C=A+30. Substituting the last into the first gives ...

  A + B + (A +30) = 640

  2A +B = 610 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30

Substituting the second into this equation gives ...

  2(2B) +B = 610

  B = 610/5 = 122 . . . . . divide by 5

  A = 2B = 244 . . . . . . . .find A from B

  C = A+30 = 274 . . . . . find C from A

Box A weighs 244 pounds; box B weighs 122 pounds; box C weighs 274 pounds.

Which shows the pre-image of triangle X’Y’Z’ before the figure is rotated 90° about the origin
Xelga [282]

Answer:

From the figure shown the coordinates of W'X'Y'Z' are W'(2, 3), X'(6, 3), Y'(6, 4) and Z'(3, 5)

The coordinates of the pre-image that yeilded W'X'Y'Z' according to the rule (-x, -y) can be obtained by changing the signs of the coordinates of W'X'Y'Z'.

Thus, the coordinates of the pre-image that yeilded W'X'Y'Z' are W(-2, -3), X(-6, -3), Y(-6, -4) and Z(-3, -5).

Therefore, the correct graph is graph c.

Find the value of x for which the lines rand s are parallel.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<1 and the 142-deg angle are vertical, so m<1 = 142 deg

The angle measuring 3x + 2 and <1 are same-side interior angles. If the lines are parallel, then those two angles are supplementary.

3x + 2 + 142 = 180

3x + 144 = 180

3x = 36

x = 12
