First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:   Let x = number of large boxes        y = number of small boxes   "There are 115 boxes in all"    means    x + y = 115      [eq1] Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:     (pounds per box)*(number of boxes) So,   pounds for large boxes     +    pounds for small boxes      =    4125 pounds                  "the truck is carrying a total of 4125 pounds in boxes"          (50)*(x)                   +              (25)*(y)                  = 4125    [eq2] It is important to find two equations so we can solve for two variables. Solve for one of the variables in eq1 then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in eq2.  Let's solve for x:    x = 115 - y          [from eq1]      50(115-y) + 25y = 4125             [from eq2]      5750 - 50y  + 25y = 4125           [distribute]      5750 - 25y = 4125       -25y = -1625          y = 65             [divide both sides by (-25)]   There are 65 small boxes. Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:   x = 115 - y   x = 115 - 65   x = 50    There are 50 large boxes.

Which choice is the solution to the inequality below?
Georgia [21]
<h3>hello!</h3>

In order to solve this inequality, we should divide both sides by 9:-

\sf{9x < 72}

Why 9? Because x is multiplied by 9, and we need to isolate x in order to find its value.

\sf{x < 8}

Hence, that's the solution to the inequality.

<em>It also means that the numbers less than 8 will satisfy the given inequality (make the inequality true)</em>

(Option C is correct :) )

<h3>note:-</h3>

Hope everything is clear; if you need any explanation/clarification, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)

Llana [10]

Answer:

B. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

F(3) means we must plug the number "3" into the equation for each x.

(3)^2 + 3(3) -2

9 + 9 - 2
