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.
True

The correct answer is D. Since the polygons are /similar/ and not /congruent/, C is not necessarily true.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
25 cents/ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
The unit rate means how much is one of the thing you are working with. In this case, the unit rate of a pint (16 ounces) is how much just one ounce will cost. So divide $3.93 by 16
$3.93/16 = $0.245625
Since we're working with money, round to the nearest hundredth
Unit rate is $0.25 per ounce, or 25 cents per ounce
A hyperbola with a center at (0, 0) can be defined as x²/a² − y²/b² = ±1.<span>
</span>The statement "<span>The symmetry of a hyperbola with a center at (h, k) only occurs at y = k" </span>is false, because a hyperbola have many different orientations.
It doesn't have to be symmetric about the lines y = k or x = h.
