9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • large: 55 lb
  • small: 30 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...

  x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box

  70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes

We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.

  (70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)

  20x = 1100 . . . . simplify

  x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20

Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.

  55 +y = 85

  y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55

A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.

Find the area of the compound shape
andrey2020 [161]
This shape is separated into two trapezoids. The equation for the area of a trapezoid is .5(base1 + base2) multiplied by height. Therefore, each half of the compound shape would be equal to .5(12 + 8) * 6 or 10 * 6 = 60. So the area of the total would be 60+60 or 120.

X^2-3x=7/4 <br> Solve by completing the square
padilas [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X^2-3x=7/4 should first be rewritten in standard form, which here would be:

x^2 - 3x - 7/4 = 0.

1.  Identify the coefficient of the x term and take half of that number:

    -3/2

2. square this result:  (-3/2)^2 = 9/4

3.  add this last result, 9/4, between the -3x term and the -7/4 term, and then      subtract it as shown:

     x^2 - 3x + 9/4 - 9/4 - 7/4 = 0

4.  Rewriting the first 3 terms as the square of a binomial, we get:

    (x - 3/2)^2  -  16/4 = 0, or    (x - 3/2)^2  =  16/4

5.  Take the square root of both sides, obtaining:

     x - 3/2 = ±√4/2 or ±√2

6.  Write out the two roots:  x = 3/2 + √2

     and                                   x = 3/2 - √2
