The answer is A............
Answer:
x = the wight of the large box
y = the weight of the small box
A delivery of 3 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 73 kilograms.
3x + 2y = 73
A delivery of 8 large boxes and 4 small boxes has a total weight of 177 kilograms.
8x + 4y = 177
by solving the system of equations
3x + 2y = 73
8x + 4y = 177
we find
x = 15.5 kg
y = 13.25 kg
the large box weights 15.5 kg.
the small box weights 13.25 kg.
Let's say that x represents hours that Elizabeth volunteers over 1 week. Katie volunteers x+3 and Siobhan x-1 hours per week. The equation that arises from condition in text is:
3*(x+3) = 3*(x + x-1)
x+3 = 2*x - 1
2*x - x= 3+1
x=4.
Elizabeth volunteers 7 hours
Katie volunteers 4 hours
Siobhan volunteers 3 hours
That number would be 6.
Since 5^2 = 25 and 6^2 = 36, we can see that the only possible whole number between sqrt(27) and sqrt(39) has to be 6.
