Answer:

Cost of small box = $13

Cost of large box = $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of small box of candy = $s

And the cost of large candy box = $b

Beth sold 9 small and 10 large boxes of candies for $297.

9s + 10b = 297 -----(1)

Sarah sold 8 small and 5 large boxes of candies for $194.

8s + 5b = 194 -------(2)

Multiply equation (2) by 2 then subtract equation (1) from (2).

2(8s + 5b) - (9s + 10b) = (2×194) - 297

16s + 10b - 9s - 10b = 388 - 297

7s = 91 ⇒ s = $13

From equation (2),

(8×13) + 5b = 194

104 + 5b = 194

5b = 90

b = $18

The length of the rectangle below is (2x-3) and the width is (x+7). Find the area of the rectangle in terms of x.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

area = 2x² - 17x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle is:

area = (width*length)

area = (x+7)*(2x-3)

        = x*2x + x*-3 + 7*2x + 7*-3

        = 2x² - 3x - 14x - 21

        = 2x² - 17x - 21

The boeing 747 airplane is 250 feet in length. If a model of this plane is 8 inches long , what scale was used to create this mo
cluponka [151]

Answer: The wingspan is 36 m.

Using a proportion to solve this, we write the scale factor as a ratio first:  19/38, since 19 is the size of the model's length and 38 is the real length.  For the second ratio, we have 18 for the size of the model wingspan and x for the real wingspan:

19/38 = 18/x

Cross multiply:

19*x = 38*18

19x = 684
