A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. The

volume of each small box is 10 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 24 cubic feet. A total of 23 boxes of paper were shipped with a combined volume of 426 cubic feet. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

x+y=23 and 10x+24y=426 can be used to determine the number of small and large boxes shipped where x represents the number of small boxes and y represent the number of large boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Volume of small box = 10 cubic feet

Volume of large box = 24 cubic feet

Total boxes shipped = 23

Combined volume = 426 cubic feet

Let,

x represent the number of small boxes.

y represent the number of large boxes.

x+y=23    

10x+24y=426

x+y=23 and 10x+24y=426 can be used to determine the number of small and large boxes shipped where x represents the number of small boxes and y represent the number of large boxes.

Solve the proportions:

<u>Answer:</u>

  • 6. 6.75
  • 7. 27
  • 8. 92/17
  • 9. 49

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

<u>- Question 6 -</u>

  • 9/16 = x/12
  • => 16x = 12 x 9
  • => 16x = 108
  • => x = 6.75

Hence, <u>the value of x in this proportion is 6.75.</u>

<h3>_______________________________</h3>

<u>- Question 7 -</u>

  • -3 + x/18 = 12/9
  • => -3/18 + x/18 = 4/3
  • => x/18 = 4/3 + 1/6
  • => x/18 = 8/6 + 1/6
  • => x/18 = 9/6
  • => x = 9/6 x 18
  • => x = 27

Hence, <u>the value of x is 27</u>

<h3>_______________________________</h3>

<u>- Question 8 -</u>

17/15 = 10/2x - 2

=> 17(2x - 2) = 150

=> 34x - 34 = 150

=> 34x = 184

=> x = 184/34

=> x = 92/17

Hence, <u>the value of x is 92/17</u>

<h3>_______________________________</h3>

<u>- Question 9 -</u>

  • x - 16/x + 6 = 3/5
  • => 5(x - 16) = 3(x + 6)
  • => 5x - 80 = 3x + 18
  • => 2x = 98
  • => x = 49

Hence, <u>the value of x is 49.</u>

Suppose we want to choose 7 colors, without replacement, from 9 distinct colors
Digiron [165]

The number of ways to choose the colors is 36

<h3>How to determine the number of ways?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Colors = 9

Colors to choose = 7

Since order does not matter, then it is combination

This is calculated using:

^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}

This gives

^nC_r = \frac{9!}{7!2!}

Evaluate

^nC_r = 36

Hence, the number of ways is 36

ON A TIME LIMIT PLS HELP!!!! thank youu
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

RQS=110

TQS=70

Step-by-step explanation:

(12x+2)+(7x+7)=180

The two equations added together give us a straight line which is angle 180

19x + 9 = 180

19x = 171

We solve for x

x = 9

Now that we have x we plus in to each equation

RQS= (12(9)+2)

= 110

TQS=(7(9)+7)

=70
