---------------------------------
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.

A bicycle is traveling at 22 miles per hour. How many feet will it cover in 45 seconds? Round your answer to the nearest tenth o

puteri [66]

Answer:

1452 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 60min×60sec = 3600 sec

1 miles = 5280 feet

22 miles = 22×5280ft = 116160 ft

3600sec ................. 116160 ft

45sec ................................ x ft

x = 45×116160/3600

= 5227200/3600

= 1452 feet

Tadeo is a beekeeper. The table shows the weekly number of bees producing honey in a new hive. Which expression gives the number

Afina-wow [57]

The exponential equation that gives the number of bees in week 12 is of:

$y = 4(3)^{11} = 708588$

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

It is modeled by:

$y = ab^x$

In which:

a is the initial value.

b is the rate of change.

In this problem, considering that the initial week is the first, and the value triples every week, the expression for the number of bees after x weeks is given by:

$y = 4(3)^{x - 1}$

Hence, after 12 weeks, the expression is:

$y = 4(3)^{11} = 708588$

If a basketball has a volume of 12,114.7 cm3, what is the distance across of a basketball

kirza4 [7]

All we need to do is start with the volume formula. Then, input the volume and solve the equation for the radius. And double it to get the diameter.

V = (4/3)pi(r^3)
12114.7 = (4/3)pi(r^3) Divide both sides by (4/3) and pi
2893.64 = r^3 Take the cube root of both sides
14.25 = r

So the diameter is about 28.5 cm (14.25 x 2 = 28.5)
