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.

Answer:

52/ 10 = 5 2/10 or 5 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first turn the mixed fractions into improper fraction

13 1/10= 131/10

7 9/10= 79/10

since the two fractions already have a common denominator just subtract

131 - 79 = 52

52/ 10 = 5 2/10 or 5 1/5

Vanyuwa [196]
The amount Reggie collected is equal to x
\frac{360}{.4}= \frac{x}{1}

x =  \frac{360}{.4} =  \frac{360}{ \frac{4}{10} } =  \frac{360*10}{4} = 900

The average annual income, I, in dollars, of a lawyer with an age of x years is modeled with the following function:
Eduardwww [97]
I = -425x^2 + 45500x - 650000
For I to be maximum, dI/dx = 0
dI/dx = -850x + 45500 = 0
x = 45500/850 = 53.53

Therefore, maximum I = -425(53.53)^2 + 45500(53.53) - 650000 = 567,794.11

Therefore, <span>the maximum average annual income, in dollars, a lawyer can earn</span>  is $567,794

Using the tangent rule:
 Tangent(angle) = Opposite leg /  Adjacent leg

We will use the 23 degree angle to solve for x.

Tangent(23) = X / 6

x = 6 * tangent(23)

x = 2.5
