Answer:

Large box weighs 18.25 kilograms

Small box weighs 15.25 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small.

Let x = weight of large box.

Let y = weight of small box.

A delivery of 3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 131 kilograms. This means

3x + 5y = 131 - - - - - - - - - - -1

A delivery of 6 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 140 kilograms.

This means 6x + 2y = 140 - - - - - - - 2

Solving equation 1 and equation 2 by elimination method,

Multiply equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3

18x + 30y = 786

18x +6y = 420

24y = 366

y = 366/24 = 15.25

Put y = 15.25 in equation 1

3x + 5× 15.25 = 131

3x + 76.25 = 131

3x = 131 - 76.25

3x = 54.75

x = 54.75/3 = 18.25

Answer:

-4x^2+9x

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding boh gives

(f+g)(x)=-2x^2+(-2x^2+9x)

=-2x^2-2x^2+9x

=-4x^2+9x

Help, Help, Please
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

θ = \frac{\pi }{3} (60° )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ sin²x = 1 - cos²x

Given

cos²θ - sin²θ = 2 - 5cosθ

cos²θ - (1 - cos²θ) = 2 - 5cosθ

cos²θ - 1 + cos²θ = 2 - 5cosθ

2cos²θ - 1 = 2 - 5cosθ ( subtract 2 - 5cosθ from both sides )

2cos²θ + 5cosθ - 3 = 0 ← in standard form

(cosθ + 3)(2cosθ - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for θ

cosθ + 3 = 0

cosθ = - 3 ← not possible as - 1 ≤ cosθ  ≤ 1

2cosθ - 1 = 0

cosθ = \frac{1}{2} , so

θ = cos^{-1} (\frac{1}{2} ) = \frac{\pi }{3} ( or 60° )

How do I solve this problem ​
Vaselesa [24]
C = 84 degrees

A = 2B
C = A + 20
A + B + C = 180

A = 2B
A/2 = B

A + (A/2) + (A+20) = 180
multiply each side by 2
2A + A + 2A + 40 = 360
combine like terms
5A + 40 = 360
subtract 40 from both sides
5A = 320
divide both sides by 5
A = 64

C = A + 20
C = 64 + 20
C = 84

Given r,s, and p, which angle is not congruent to 4?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Line R, S, and P are parallel lines meaning any lines that pass through them will form the same angles. Look at 4 and 2. One line is intersecting S and P to for the same angles. Corresponding angles in parallel lines which are formed by an intersecting line are equal. Therefore 4 and 2 are equal. That leaves B, C, and D left. 4 is also congruent to 5.  This is because if 4 is congruent to 2 and 2 is congruent to 5 by vertical angles theorem, 5 must be equal to 4 (transitive property of equality: is a=b and b=c then a=c)

That leaves B and D left. Notice the angle made at the very top left. Across from that unlabeled angle is 6. By vertical angles theorem those 2 angles are congruent. The unmarked angle is equal to 2 and 4 because corresponding angles in parallels are congruent. Therefore lets mark that unmarked angle as 0. If the m< 6 = m< 0 and the m<0= the m<4 then m<6 must equal the m<4.

That leaves Just B remaining thus B is NOT congruent to 4

<3 is the answer
