Answer:

weight = 736 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ball be denoted by b and box by x

Given that:

3b + x = 1840kg ----------- eq1

According to given scenario:

each ball is thrice heavy than box So,

b = 3x -------------- eq2

Putting value of b in eq1

3 (3x) + x = 1840 kg

9x + x = 1840 kg

10x = 1840 kg

Dividing both sides by 10

x = 184 kg

Now finding weight of betal ball

Putting value of x in eq 2

b = 3 (184)

b = 552 kg

So the weight of one ball and box is:

weight = ball + box

weight = 552kg + 184 kg

weight = 736 kg

i hope it will help you!

For a class experiment, Danny's class weighed a log before and after subjecting it to termites. Before subjecting it to termites

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

4.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the termites: 5 pounds

After the termites: 1/4 of a pound

Amount that the termites took: x

5 - x = 1/4

Add x to both sides of the equation

5 = 1/4 + x

Subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation

4 3/4 = x

4 3/4 = 4.75

The termites took 4.75 pounds from the log

Hope this helps :)

(5,9), (5-3)<br> what is the slope?

monitta

Answer:

Hello!!! Princess Sakura here ^^

Step-by-step explanation:

When you want to find out what the slope is, you have to remember what the formula is first....

$m=\frac{y}{x} =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

so in this case -3 would be the $y_{2}$ because it's the y in the ordered pair and it's the second one. Then one of the 5's would be $x_{2}$ and 9 would be $y_{1}$ and then the other 5 would be $x_{1}$ .
