Answer:

x+y = 26  

18500x+17,000y = 460,000

Step-by-step explanation:

number of cars is denoted by x

number of trucks is denoted by y

According to question

Total no. of cars and truck shipped = 26  _______________1

Total no of cars shipped in terms of x and y = x+y  _______2

since equation 1 and 2 are representing the same thing , equating them together we have

x+y = 26  first equation

list price of car = $18500

if there are x cars then total price of car = x*price of one car

= $18500*x = $18500x

list price of truck = $17,000

if there are y trucks then total price of trucks = y*price of one truck

= $17,000*y = $17,000y  

Given that

Total value of shipment of cars and truck = $460,000   _______________3

Total value of cars shipped in terms of x and y = $18500x+$17,000_____4

since equation 3 and 4 are representing the same thing , equating them together we have

$18500x+$17,000y = $460,000  second equation

Removing $ sign to standardize the equation

18500x+17,000y = 460,000

Hypotenuse of the right triangle: h=sqrt(4^2+6^2)
h=sqrt(16+36)
h=sqrt(52)
h=sqrt(4*13)
h=sqrt(4) sqrt(13)
h=2 sqrt(13)

Total Area: T.A.=2*(4*6/2)+[4+6+2 sqrt(13)] (8)
T.A.=2*(12)+[10+2 sqrt(13)](8)
T.A.=24+(10)(8)+[2 sqrt(13)](8)
T.A.=24+80+16 sqrt(13)
T.A.=104+16 sqrt(13)

Answer: 
( 104+16 sqrt(13) )

If u know this help me I got a lot of homework 6 grade work

Hello! I can help you!

22. Okay. What we need to do for this one is subtract fraction.l, because we are looking for how much more the second container holds than the first. We need to covert them to like denominators, which in this case is 8 5 3/4 = 5 6/8. Because 6/8 is less than 7/8, we need to regroup by adding 8 and turning the 5 into a 4. The problem would become like this: 4 14/8 - 1 7/8. When you subtract both numbers, you get 3 7/8. There. The second container holds 3 7/8 more gallons of water than the first.

23.

a. 15 student speeches will last 1 1/2 minutes each. In this case, we just simply multiply the fractions by multiply straight across. Multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together. 1 1/2 is 3/2 a an improper fraction. Make 15 have a denominator of 1. 15/1 * 3/2 is 45/2 or 22 1/2 as a mixed number. It will take 22 1/2 minutes to give the speeches.

b. Okay. The teacher makes a 15 minute intro. Let’s add the time it takes to make the speeches and the teacher’s intro. 22 1/2 + 15 0/2 is 37 1/2. Yes. There is enough time to record everyone.

c. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. Subtract the total amount taken on the camera from 60. 0/2 is less than 1/2. Again, regroup by adding 2 to make 2/2, and crossing out 60, so it becomes 59. 59 2/2 - 37 1/2 is 22 1/2. There are 22 1/2 minutes left on the digital camera.
