Answer:
Small box weighs 13.75 kg & large box weighs 15.75 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write 2 simultaneous equation and solve for weight of each box.
<em>Let weight of large box be l and small box be s.</em>
<em />
"<u>3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms</u>":
and
"<u>9 large boxes and 7 small boxes has a total weight of 238 kilograms</u>":
<em>Now we can solve for l in the 1st equation and put it into 2nd equation and get s:</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>now,</em>
<em>
</em>
<em />
<em>now we plug in 13.75 into s into equation of l to find s:</em>
<em>
</em>
Simplifying
2x2 + 6x + 4 = 24
Reorder the terms:
4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24
Solving
4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24
Solving for variable 'x'.
Reorder the terms:
4 + -24 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24
Combine like terms: 4 + -24 = -20
-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24
Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 0
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-10 + 3x + x2) = 0
Factor a trinomial.
2((-5 + -1x)(2 + -1x)) = 0
Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-5 + -1x = 0
Solving
-5 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + 5
-1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-1x = 5
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -5
Simplifying
x = -5
What is the question? If you are only trying to expand the
expression then the answer would be:
1/4 (5y-3)+ 1/16 (12y+17)
(5y/4) – (3/4) + (12y/16) + (17/16)
1.25y – 0.75 + 0.75y + 1.0625
2y + 0.3125
If you are trying to find for y, then you forgot to equate
it to 0, that is:
2y + 0.3125 = 0
2y = -0.3125
<span>y = 0.15625</span>
24/2 equals 12
12 + 8 = 20
