Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The delivery person can take 24 boxes of books up the elevator at one time. This was my process:

(1140-150) / 40

990 / 40

24.75

But you cannot have three quarters of a box so the final answer would be 24.

11. A roofer calculates his bid price using the formula P = 1.85s + 4.2f, where s is the area of the roof in square feet and f i
storchak [24]

Replace f with 190, replace P with 4148 and solve for  s:

4148 = 1.85s + 4.2(190)

Simplify:

4148 = 1.85 + 798

Subtract 798 from both sides:

3350 = 1.85s

Divide both sides by 1.85:

s = 1,810.81

Rounded to nearest square foot = 1811 square feet.

the diffrence of two numbers,a and b,is 21,the diffrence of five times a and two times b is 18 what are the values of a and b
Triss [41]

Answer:

a=-8

b=-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

first number is a

second number is b

the difference of two numbers,a and b,is 21

so, we get

a-b=21

we can solve for 'a'

a=b+21

the difference of five times a and two times b is 18

so, we get

5a-2b=18

now, we can plug 'a'

5(b+21)-2b=18

now, we can solve for b

5b+105-2b=18

3b+105=18

3b=-87

b=-29

now, we can find 'a'

a=-29+21

a=-8
