Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...
x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box
70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes
We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.
(70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)
20x = 1100 . . . . simplify
x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20
Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.
55 +y = 85
y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55
A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.

Answer:
0.3 = 3/10 = 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
The reading of the number as "three tenths" tells you how to write the fraction:
0.3 = 3/10
You can also express the same value in hundredths. Of course /100 is just a long way to write %, so ...
0.3 = 0.30 = 30/100 = 30%
0.3 = 3/10 = 30%
Answer: x = -1 and x= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Try plugging in the solutions for x (remember that whatever number comes out of the absolute value bars is ALWAYS POSITIVE)
