The cost of small box of oranges is $7.

The cost of large box of oranges is $13.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that,

3 small boxes of oranges and 14 large boxes of oranges for a total of $203.

11 small boxes of oranges and 11 large boxes of oranges for a total of $220.

Let us take,

  • The cost of small box of oranges = x
  • The cost of large box of oranges = y

<u>The system of equations are framed as :</u>

3x + 14y = 203  ---------(1)

11x + 11y = 220  ---------(2)

<u>To solve these equations for x and y values :</u>

Multiply equation (1) by 11 and equation (2) by 3

Subtract eq(2) from eq(1),

 33x + 154y = 2233

- <u>(33x + 33y = 660)  </u>

  <u>        121 y = 1573  </u>

⇒ y = 1573 / 121

⇒ y = 13

∴ The cost of large box of oranges is $13.

Substitute y=13 in the eq(1),

⇒ 3x + 14(13) = 203

⇒ 3x + 182 = 203

⇒ 3x = 203 - 182

⇒ 3x = 21

⇒ x = 21 / 3

⇒ x = 7

∴ The cost of small box of oranges is $7.

9 (x− 3 =) 45 pleas answer fast
GalinKa [24]

Answer: x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

9 ( x - 3 ) = 45

distribute 9

9x - 27 = 45

combine constants

9x = 45 + 27

compute 45 + 27

9x = 72

divide both by 9

9x/9 = 72/9

final answer

x = 8

Bueno, usaré el español xD

11. Recordemos que entre más negativo es un número, menor es.

a) - 6 > - 10

ya que - 10 es más negativo, por consiguiente es menor, esto llega a confundir ya que tenemos la noción de que si vemos una cifra alta, por consiguiente es mayor, esto pasa en los positivos.

b) 12 > - 16

c) - 7 < 0

d) 35 > - 80

e) -37 < - 24

f) - 40 < 15

g) - 18 < 10

h) - 17 < 0

i) |-21| = |21|

El valor absoluto de un número negativo es su positivo, por lo que también puede ser:

21 = 21.

j) |176| > 0, o también 176 > 0

k) |-479| > |478|, o también 479 > 478

l) |-1375| = |1375|, o también 1375 = 1375

12. De menor a mayor.

a) - 8, - 7, - 4, 0, 3

b) - 16, - 12, - 7, 8, 9

c) - 15, - 13, 0, 9, 11

d) - 47, - 43, - 31, 14, 29

e) - 17, - 15, - 12, 16, 19

f) - 26, - 21, - 10, 17, 26

g) - 61, - 58, - 49, 30, 50

13. De mayor a menor.

a) 6, 4, - 1, - 5, - 7

b) 8, 0, - 7, - 11, - 13

c) 19, 6, - 8, - 10, - 17

d) 21, - 9, - 18, - 24, - 27

e) 53, 47, - 6, - 43, - 48

f) 14, 6, - 18, - 39, - 45

g) 24, 16, 12, - 12, - 17
