Answer:

i) Total Profit = ₹ 33,000

ii) Number of White Cement bags company has to sell = 3000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Total number of white cement bags = x

Total number of grey cement bags = y

Profit for White Cement = ₹ 9 / bag

Profit for x number of white cement bags = 9x

As "LOSS" can also be written as "- PROFIT"

Profit for Grey Cement = -₹ 5 / bag

Profit for y number of Grey cement bags = -5y

Total Profit = 9x - 5y

(If value of Total Profit is negative, it is a Loss)

<h3>Part (i)</h3>

x = 7000

y = 6000

Total Profit = 9x - 5y

Total Profit = 9(7000) - 5(6000)

Total Profit = ₹ 33,000

<h3>Part (ii)</h3>

y = 5400

Total Profit = 0

Total Profit = 9x - 5y

0 = 9x - 5(5400)

9x = 5(5400)

x = 5(54000/9

x = 3000 bags

A right-angled triangle has shorter side lengths exactly c^2-b^2 and 2bc units respectively, where b and c are positive real num

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: hypotenuse = $c^{2} + b^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation: Pythagorean theorem states that square of hypotenuse (h) equals the sum of squares of each side ( $s_{1},s_{2}$ ) of the right triangle, .i.e.:

$h^{2} = s_{1}^{2} + s_{2}^{2}$

In this question:

$s_{1}$ = $c^{2}-b^{2}$

$s_{2} =$ 2bc

Substituing and taking square root to find hypotenuse:

$h=\sqrt{(c^{2}-b^{2})^{2}+(2bc)^{2}}$

Calculating:

$h=\sqrt{c^{4}+b^{4}-2b^{2}c^{2}+(4b^{2}c^{2})}$

$h=\sqrt{c^{4}+b^{4}+2b^{2}c^{2}}$

$c^{4}+b^{4}+2b^{2}c^{2}$ = $(c^{2}+b^{2})^{2}$ , then:

$h=\sqrt{(c^{2}+b^{2})^{2}}$

$h=(c^{2}+b^{2})$

Hypotenuse for the right-angled triangle is $h=(c^{2}+b^{2})$ units

A rectangular painting is 24 inches wide and 20 inches tall without the frame. With the frame, it is 28 inches wide and 24 inche

evablogger [386]

The area of the frame not covered by the painting is 192 square inches

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, A rectangular painting is 24 inches wide and 20 inches tall without the frame

The area of rectangle is given as:

$Area = length \times width$

<em><u>Find the area of painting without frame:</u></em>

Length = 20 inches

Width = 24 inches

$Area\ Without\ Frame = 20 \times 24 = 480$

Thus area of painting without frame is 480 square inches

With the frame, it is 28 inches wide and 24 inches tall

<em><u>Find the area of painting with frame:</u></em>

Length = 24 inches

Width = 28 inches

$Area\ with\ frame = 24 \times 28 = 672$

Thus area of painting with frame is 672 square inches

<em><u>What is the area of the frame not covered by the painting</u></em>

Area of the frame not covered by the painting = Area with farme - Area without frame

Area of the frame not covered by the painting = 672 - 480 = 192

Thus the area of the frame not covered by the painting is 192 square inches

2x+5y=-21 , -2x+3y+-27

Elis [28]

Answer:

x=4.5 and y= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5y= -21

-2x+3y= -27

add the two equations: 8y= -48

y=-48/8= -6

sub for y in 2x+5y= -21

2x + 5(-6)=-21, 2x-30= -21

2x= -21+30= 9

x= 9/2=4.5
