Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Weight of large box = x

Weight of small box = y

According to given statement;

5x+2y=102      Eqn 1

3x+8y=153      Eqn 2

Multiyplying Eqn 1 by 4

4(5x+2y=102)\\20x+8y=408\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(20x+8y)-(3x+8y)=408-153\\20x+8y-3x-8y=255\\17x=255

Dividing both sides by 17

\frac{17x}{17}=\frac{255}{17}\\x=15

Putting x=15 in Eqn 2

15(3)+8y=153\\45+8y=153\\8y=153-45\\8y=108

Dividing both sides by 8

\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{108}{8}\\y=13.5

Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.

A tennis ball is launched from a catapult from the ground with an initial velocity of 26fps. What is the maximum height of the b
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

10.5618feet, 0.8125sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height reached by the catapult expressed by the equation H=-16T^2+26T

At the maximum height, the velocity of the object is zero, hence;

v = dh/dt = 0

-32t + 26 = 0

-32t = -26

t = 26/32

t = 0.8125secs

Hence it will attain the maximum height after 0.8125second

Substitute t = 0.8125s into the expression to get the maximum height

H=-16t^2+26t

H = -16(0.8125)^2 + 26(0.8125)

H = -16(0.6602) + 21.125

H = -10.5632+21.125

H = 10.5618

hence the maximum height reached by the ball is 10.5618feet

20 points! i need somebody to explain this to me for D + 4 < 7.
Veronika [31]

Assuming there is no line under the "less than" sign, this means D + 4 < 7 solves to D < 3, which is what I'm assuming you got. This is found by subtracting 4 from both sides.

Writing D < 3 means D is some number less than 3. A solution is just that. You cannot pick 3 itself because 3 is not less than 3. But you can pick something like 2 since it is less than 3.

D+4 < 7

2+4 < 7 ... replace D with 2

6 < 7 ... true

Or D could be 1

D+4 < 7

1+4 < 7

5 < 7 .... true

and so on.

Sam has a cylindrical storage container 7 inches tall with a radius of 5 inches. How much cat litter will fit in the container?
artcher [175]

Answer: That would be 549.5 cubic inches of cat litter (approximately).

Step-by-step explanation: The cylindrical storage container has a height of seven inches and a radius of five inches. To know how much cat litter would fill it requires us to calculate the volume of the container.

The volume of a cylinder is given as,

Volume = Pi x r^2 x h

Where r is the radius, h is the height and Pi shall be taken as 3.14

We can now substitute for the known values as follows;

Volume = 3.14 x 5^2 x 7

Volume = 3.14 x 25 x 7

Volume = 549.5

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the container would be filled with 549.5 cubic inches of cat litter.
