Answer:

A = 12/5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

USING ALGEBRA:

We can find the intersection point between these two lines;

y = 3x - 6

y = -2x + 8

Set these two equations equal to each other.

3x - 6 = -2x + 8

Add 2x to both sides of the equation.

5x - 6 = 8

Add 6 to both sides of the equation.

5x = 14

Divide both sides of the equation by 5.

x = 14/5  

Find the y-value where these points intersect by plugging this x-value back into either equation.

y = 3(14/5) - 6

Multiply and simplify.

y = 42/5 - 6

Multiply 6 by (5/5) to get common denominators.

y = 42/5 - 30/5  

Subtract and simplify.

y = 12/5

These two lines intersect at the point 12/5. This is the height of the triangle formed by these two lines and the x-axis.

Now let's find the roots of these equations (where they touch the x-axis) so we can determine the base of the triangle.

Set both equations equal to 0.

(I) 0 = 3x - 6  

Add 6 both sides of the equation.

6 = 3x

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.

x = 2  

Set the second equation equal to 0.

(II) 0 = -2x + 8

Add 2x to both sides of the equation.

2x = 8

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.

x = 4

The base of the triangle is from (2,0) to (4,0), making it a length of 2 units.

The height of the triangle is 12/5 units.

Formula for the Area of a Triangle:

A = 1/2bh

Substitute 2 for b and 14/5 for h.

A = (1/2) · (2) · (12/5)

Multiply and simplify.

A = 12/5

The area of the region bounded by the lines y = 3x - 6 and y = -2x + 8 between the x-axis is 12/5 units.

a farmer produced 47581 2 oranges of one kind and 651 65 oranges of another kind He mixed these oranges and packed in 296 boxes
storchak [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure the scanning of the text went well, as this has some strange gaps in the numbers.

I understand that we have 475812 oranges of one type and 65165 oranges of another type.

we have no information, if these types of oranges have significantly different sizes or weight. so, we have to assume that they are reasonably equal to each other.

therefore, the "different type" statement is just to confuse us. the text could have also said that these were 2 different truck loads of the same type.

we only need to deal with the total number of oranges.

so,

475812 + 65165 = 540977 total oranges

he packs them into 296 boxes.

that makes

540977 / 296 = 1827.625 oranges per box.

these are many oranges for one box in real life.

and it is not a round number, which is strange for a home work or test question if this type.

if the farmer truly put only the same number of oranges in every box, he would have

540977 - 1827×296 = 540977 - 540792 = 185

oranges left over.

in any case, these are all signs that there was probably something wrong with the text. but you see the principle up there. please do the same thing with the real numbers.
