Answer: The maximum length that can be used is 56 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Width of package = 14 inch

Height of package = 12 inch

Let the length of package be 'l'.

Combined length and girth i.e. distance around = 108 inches.

So, According to question, we get that

l+2(w+h)=108\\\\l+2(14+12)=108\\\\l+2\times 26=108\\\\l+52=108\\\\l=108-52\\\\l=56\ inches

Hence, the maximum length that can be used is 56 inches.

PLZ HURRY carrie is 3 times as old as Eva. in 15 years Carrie will be twice as old as Eva. how old are they both now
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Age of Eva =  15 Years

Age of Carrie = 45 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Eva be X years

Given that Carrie is 3 times as old as Eva

Therefore age of Carrie = 3X YEARS.

__________________________________________________________

After 15 years

Age of Eva = X + 15

Age of Carrie = 3X +15

Given that Carrie is twice as old as Eva

so according to this condition

age of Carrie = 2*Age of Eva

Substituting the age of Eva and Carrie

3X +15 = 2*(X + 15 )

=> 3X +15 = 2X +30

=> 3X - 2X = 30 - 15

=> X = 15

Since X was assumed age of Eva so age of Eva is 15 years

age of Carrie = 3X years = 3*15 = 45 years.

A phone company charges $0.06 per minute for local calls and $0.15 per minute for international calls. When your bill comes, it
solmaris [256]
Let's assume two variables x and y which represent the local and international calls respectively. 

x + y = 852 = total number of minutes which were consumed by the company (equation 1)
0.06*x+ 0.15 y =69.84 = total price which was charged for the phone calls (Equation 2)
 from equation 1:-
x=852 -y (sub in equation 2)
0.06 (852 - y) + 0.15 y =69.84

51.12 -0.06 y +0.15 y =69.84 (subtracting both sides by 51.12)
0.09 y =18.74
y= 208 minutes = international minutes (sub in 1) 
208+x=852 (By subtracting both sides by 208)
x = 852-208 = 644 minutes = local minutes

Which of the following ordered pairs represents the solution to the system of equations below?
expeople1 [14]
<span>-3x + 2y = 2  eq (1)

  7x - 3y = 7    eq (2)

Mutiply eq (1) by 3 and eq (2) by 2:

-9x + 6y = 6

14x - 6y = 14

Add th two new equations:

-9x + 14x = 6 + 14

=> 5x = 20

=> x = 20/5

=> x = 4

Now from eq (1)

-3(4) + 2y = 2

=> 2y = 2 + 12

=> 2y = 14

=> y = 14 / 2

=> y = 7

So the ordered pair is (4,7)

Answer: option B. (4,7)

Esme buys jacketsfor 500 each and prices them for 700 each.If the selling price is reduced by 20%. how much profitdoes Esme make
Blababa [14]

Answer:

($) 60 is the profit per item when the selling price is reduced by 20%

Step-by-step explanation: 20% of 700 is 140.

The original profit is 700 - 500 = 200. The selling price is 140 less, Subtract 140 from 200. That leaves a profit of 60. (Not necessarily dollars, as the currency was not given in the question.)
