Answer:

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem may be solved by a system of equations:

I am going to say that:

x is the number of small boxes used

y is the number of large boxes used

There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped

This means that y = 2x

Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.

This means that 45x + 80y =1435

So we have to solve the following system:

y=2x

45x + 80y =1435

45x + 80 (2x) = 1435

205x = 1435

x= 1435/205

x=7

y=2x= 2(7) = 14

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

         x⁴ + x = 0
x(x³) + x(1) = 0

x = 0    or    x³ + 1 = 0

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

x =  \sqrt{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

- 5 {x}^{2}  =  - 50 \\  {x}^{2}  =  \frac{ - 50}{ - 5}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 10 \\ x =   \sqrt{10}

The mean age of Mr Jasmi,Miss Haslinda and their three children is 38 years. The mean age of their three children is 18 years. C
DedPeter [7]
Answer: 68

Explanation:

Let x be the age of Mr Jasmi
y be the age of Miss Haslinda
a + b + c be the age of the 3 children

We can write:
(x + y + a + b + c)/5 = 38

But:
(a + b + c)/3 = 18
a + b + c = 18(3)
a + b + c = 54

Substitute this value to our first equation

(x + y + 54)/5 = 38
x + y + 54 = 38(5)
x + y + 54 = 190
x + y = 190 - 54
x + y = 136

Thus:
Mean age of (mr jasmi and miss Linda) = (x+y)/2

But x + y = 136

=> mean age = 136/2 = 68
