A box containing a total of 179 copies of two different paperback books was shipped to Marci’s school. The total weight of the b

ooks was 128 pounds. If the weight of each of the first paperbacks was 2/3 of a pound and the weight of each of the second paperbacks was 3/4 of a pound, which statements are true? Check all that apply.
1. The system of equations is x + y = 179 and 2/3x+3/4y=128
2. The system of equations is x + y = 128 and 2/3x+3/4y=179
3. To eliminate the x-variable from the equations, you can multiply the equation with the fractions by 3 and leave the other equation as it is.
4. To eliminate the y-variable from the equations, you can multiply the equation with the fractions by –4 and multiply the other equation by 3.
5. There are 104 copies of one book and 24 copies of the other.
6. There are 93 copies of one book and 35 copies of the other.
7. There are 104 copies of one book and 75 copies of the other.
8. There are 93 copies of one book and 86 copies of the other.

Answer:

1,4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 179

2/3x + 3/4y = 128

^ these are the equations

x + y = 179 -multiply by 3

2/3x + 3/4y = 128-multiply by -4

--

3x + 3y = 537 (result of multiplying by 3)

-8/3x - 3y = -512 (result of multiplying by -4)

--add

1/3x = 25

x = 25 * 3

x = 75

--

x + y = 179

75 + y = 179

y = 179 - 75

y = 104

(is this better?)

Please help! I will give Brainliest!<br> Who is correct?

Irving is correct! A triangle is unique if the two shorter segments is "less than or equal to" the third segment.
4.5+8.5=13 which is less than 14.

note: Could you do me a favor and mark me as brainiest, that would really help motivate me to help out more people in the future. Thanks! ☺️ <3

I need to find the value of X
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

17.7

Step-by-step explanation:

This figure is a pentagon - a shape with 5 sides. In a pentagon, the figure's angles add to 540.

100 + 7x-4 + 3x + 23 + 9x - 6 + 90 = 540

190 +19x + 13 = 540

203 + 19x = 540

19x = 337

x = 17.7

Write an equation for a polynomial with all the following features a. The degree is 5 b. The polynomial has 4 terms c. The graph
ladessa [460]

Answer:

f(x) = ax^5 + bx^3 + cx^2 + 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

the degree is 5 so we will have a term like:

ax^5

it crosses the vertical axis at y = 12 so we will have a constant term equal to 12

the polynomial has 4 terms, and we already have two so we can make up two more but the exponent must be between 1 and 4

f(x) = ax^5 + bx^3 + cx^2 + 12.

it has 4 terms, f(0) = 12, then it intersects the y-axis at y = 12, and the maximum exponent is 5, then the degree of f(x) is 5
