Answer:

  • large: 18.5 kg
  • small: 15.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and s represent the weights of the big and small boxes, respectively. Then the two delivered weights can be summarized as ...

  5b +6s = 187

  3b +2s = 87

We can eliminate the "s" variable by subtracting the first equation from 3 times the second:

  3(3b +2s) -(5b +6s) = 3(87) -(187)

  4b = 74 . . . . . collect terms

  b = 18.5 . . . . . divide by 4

Using this value in the second equation, we find ...

  3(18.5) +2s = 87

  2s = 31.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 55.5

  s = 15.75 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The large box weighs 18.5 kg; the small box weighs 15.75 kg.

ANSWER:

#include <stdio.h>

#define PAYRATE 10 //basic pay rate per hour

#define OVERTIME 15 //in excess of 40 hours a week

int NetPay(int hours);

int main()

{

int userWeeklyHours;

printf("Please enter your total weekly working hours: \n");

scanf("%d", &userWeeklyHours);// get the user weekly hours

NetPay(userWeeklyHours);

return 0;

}

{

payedBeforeTax = (40 * PAYRATE) + (overHours * OVERTIME);

}

else

payedBeforeTax = hours * PAYRATE;//defining the user first paycheck before taxes

If u rotate an object around a given point what information will you need?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A point (a, b) rotated around a point (x, y) 180 degrees will transform to point (-(a - x) + x, -(b - y) + y). A point (a, b) rotated around the origin 270 degrees will transform to point (b - y + x, -(a - x) + y).

A square has a side of 6.25 feet. What is the area in square feet? Round to the correct significant digits.
OleMash [197]
The area of a square is s•s.
A= 6.25•6.25
A= 39.0625
Rounded= 39.06 square feet
(I'm assuming rounding to the significant digits means rounding to the hundredths since 6.25 is rounded to the hundredths.)

Great that you could share this illustration.  Unfortunately, I do not have access to the drop-down menu, and thus do not know what choices you have there.  

You may have to break this problem down into parts.  Type in the choices for each pull-down menu for each part of the problem (for example, for the sentence that begins with "the sum of the measures of angles ... is 180 degrees because they ... "
