Answer:
180 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is 10 boxes per hour, so if you multiply 10 times 18 you will get 180 which is the answer.
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
so old triangle we have 1/2 x b x h = 48
new triangle has base 3 times as long and height is half as long
so we would get:
1/2 x (3B) x (1/2H) = area
rewrite as 1/2 x 3/2 x b x H = area
divide by original are os 1/2 x b x h and you end up with 3/2
so new area = 3/2 x old area
new area = 3/2 * 48 = 72 square inches
You can reword the two equations as:
-5x-y=15 (Divide original value by 3)
-2x+6y=6
Then use elimination to find x:
-30x-6y=90 (Multiply by 6 to get y values to be same to cancel out)
-2x+6y=6
You're left with:
-32x=96. Which can then be solved to find x which is -3.
Then plug back in
-2x+6y=6
Now to: -2(-3)+6y=6.
Which reduces to 6+6y=6. So y=0.
To graph them, just reword the equations (yes once again) so that y is in front.
y=-5x-15 and y=(1/3)x+1
