pretty much about the same as before.
a = weight of a large box
b = weight of a small box.
we know their combined weight is 65 lbs, thus a + b = 65.
we also know that the truck has 60 large ones, and 55 small ones, thus 60*a is the total weight for the large ones and 55*b is the total weight for the small ones, and we know that is a total of 3775, 60a + 55b = 3775.
Answer:
Pete: 39, Linda: 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose Pete has x dollars. If he has 3 dollars less than Linda, then Linda has 3+x dollars. Together, they have 81 dollars:
x+3+x=81
2x+3=81
2x=78
x=39
Since Pete has x dollars, and x=39, he has $39.
Linda has 3+x, which is 39+3 = $42

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
= x - 5 ( x ≥ 3 )
( )² = ( x - 5 )²
x - 3 = x² - 10x + 25
x² - 11x + 28 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 7) = 0
= 7
= 4
Check the answer:
1). x = 7
= 7 - 2
√4 = 2
2 = 2
2). x = 4
= 4 - 5
1 = - 1 (False statement) ⇒ x = 4 is an extraneous solution.
