---------------------------------
Define x and y :
---------------------------------
Let x be the number of large boxes.
Let y be the number of smaller boxes.

---------------------------------
Construct equations :
---------------------------------
x + y = 125 -------------------------- (1)
50x + 30y = 4850 ---------------- (2)

---------------------------------
From equation (1) :
---------------------------------
x + y = 125
x = 125 - y

---------------------------------
Substitute x = 125 - y into (2) :
---------------------------------
50 (125 - y) + 30y = 4850
6250 - 50y + 30y = 4850
20y = 1400
y = 1400 ÷ 20
y = 70

---------------------------------
Sub y = 70 into equation 1
---------------------------------
x + y = 125
x + 70 = 125
x = 55

---------------------------------
Find the number of boxes :
---------------------------------
Large box = x = 55
Small box = y = 70

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: There are 55 large boxes and 70 small boxes.

Let L and S represent the numbers of Large and Small boxes, respectively.
.. L + S = 125 . . . . . . . . . . there are 125 boxes in all
.. 50L + 30S = 4850 . . . . . total weight of all boxes is 4850 pounds

You can multiply the first equation by -30 and add that to the second.
.. -30L -30S = -3750
Adding this to the second equation, we get
.. (-30L +50L) +(-30S +30S) = (-3750 +4850)
.. 20L = 1100
.. L = 55

and from the first equation ...
.. 55 + S = 125
.. S = 70

The truck is carrying
.. 55 large boxes
.. 70 small boxes

Subtraction and addition are basically the same thing. You just need to pay attention to the sign of the number.

Given the function g(m) = √— m − 4 , solve g(m) = 2

Pani-rosa [81]

2 = $\sqrt{-m}$ - 4

+4 +4

6 = $\sqrt{-m}$

6² = ( $\sqrt{-m}$ )²

36 = |-m|

36 = +/-m

36 = m , -36 = m +36 is not valid because m ≤ 0

Eugene knows the circumference of a circle is 125.6 meters. Does he have enough information to find the area?

mina [271]

$\bf \textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\
C=2\pi r\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
C=125.6
\end{cases}\implies 125.6=2\pi r\implies \cfrac{125.6}{2\pi }=\boxed{r}
\\\\\\
\textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2\qquad \qquad \implies A=\pi \left( \boxed{\cfrac{125.6}{2\pi} } \right)^2$

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 19 ft wide and 30 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor aroun

dusya [7]

Answer:

width = 15 ft

length = 26 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

(19 - 2x)(30 - 2x) = 390

570 - 38x - 60x + 4x² = 390

combine like terms:

4x² - 98x + 570 = 390

subtract 390 from each side of the equation:

4x² - 98x + 180 = 0

divide by 4:

x² - 24.5 + 45 = 0

(x - 22.5)(x - 2) = 0

x = 22.5 and x = 2

since x = 22.5 is out of the usable range, x = 2 ft is the solution

width = 19 ft - 4 ft = 15 ft (remember that there will be a 2 ft gap at each wall, thus subtract 4 ft)

length = 30 ft - 4 ft = 26 ft
