a=2

Answer:

(m1) slope of DE=(7-1)/(10-a)=6/(10-a)

(m2) slope of EF=(11-7)/(7-10)=4/-3=-4/3

since line are perpendicular

m1m2=-1

6/(10-a) ×-4/3=-1

6/(10-a)=3/4

6×4=3(10-a)

24=30-3a

3a=30-24

a=6/3=2

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem may be solved by a system of equations:

I am going to say that:

x is the number of small boxes used

y is the number of large boxes used

There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped

This means that $y = 2x$

Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.

This means that $45x + 80y = 1435$

So we have to solve the following system:

$y = 2x$

$45x + 80y = 1435$

$45x + 80(2x) = 1435$

$205x = 1435$

$x = \frac{1435}{205}$

$x = 7$

$y = 2x = 2(7) = 14$

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

218

Step-by-step explanation:

43 - w = 175

__________

To calculate the w, you need to add 43 to 175

w = 175 + 43

w = 218
