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.

2 = (-x) Help I'm a not so bright blonde!
makvit [3.9K]
If you need to solve this equation you can multiply the both side of equation on (-1). Like that
<span>2 = (-x);
-1·2 = (-1)·(-x)
if you multiply negative and </span><span>positive </span>you'll have negative,
if you multiply negative and <span>negative you'll have </span><span><span>positive. So
</span> 
</span>-2 = x.  or
x = -2.
The answer is -2.

The area of a sector of an circle of a radius 5 cm, formed by an arc of length is 3.5cm. what is the answer
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

8.75cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the angle subtended by the arc

L = theta/360 * 2pir

3.5 = theta/360 * 2*3.14(5)

3.5 = theta/360 * 31.4

theta/360 = 3.5/31.4

theta/360 = 0.11146

theta = 0.11146 * 360

theta = 40.13 degrees

Area of the sector = theta/360 * pir^2

Area of the sector = 40.13/360 * 3.14*25

Area of the sector = 40.13/360 * 78.5

Area of the sector  = 8.75cm

Hence the area of the sector is 8.75cm²
