Answer:

Number of units of first product = 112

Number of units of second product = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are two products which are to be shipped.

<em>First product details:</em>

Unit volume = 10 cu ft

Weight of one unit = 50 lb

<em>Second product details:</em>

Unit volume = 3 cu ft

Weight of one unit = 40 lb

Total volume that can be carried by a truck = 2320 cu ft

Total weight that can be carried by a truck = 21600 cu ft

To find:

The number of units of each product that can be transported in one shipment in the truck?

Solution:

Let number of units of first product = x

Let number of units of second product = y

We can write down two linear equations in two variables here and solving them will give us the answer we are required to find.

As per question statement, the equations can be written as:

10x+3y = 2320 ...... (1)\\50x+40y = 21600\\\Rightarrow  5x+4y = 2160...... (2)

Multiplying equation (2) with 2 and subtracting equation (1) from it:

8y - 3y = 4320-2320\\\Rightarrow 5y = 2000\\\Rightarrow \bold{ y = 400}

By equation (1):

10x+1200 = 2320\\\Rightarrow 10x = 1120\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 112}

Answer is:

Number of units of first product = 112

Number of units of second product = 400

In a class of 40 students, everyone has either a pierced nose or a pierced ear. The professor asks everyone with a pierced nose
ladessa [460]

Answer:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are total 40 students in a class

No of students with Pierced Nose n(N)=7

No of students with Pierced ear n(E)=36

and we know using sets

n\left ( N\cup E\right )=n\left ( E\right )+n\left ( N\right )-n\left ( N\cap E\right )

where n\left ( N\cup E\right )=Students either nose or ear Pierced

n\left ( N\cap E\right )=no of students having both nose and ear pierced

40=7+36-n\left ( N\cap E\right )

n\left ( N\cap E\right )=43-40=3

What is the slope of the line? 3x-4y=73x−4y=7
Andrei [34K]
To find the slope, we put this in y = mx + b form where m is ur slope.

3x - 4y = 7.....subtract 3x from both sides
-4y = -3x + 7 ...now we divide both sides by -4
(-4/-4)y = (-3/-4)x + (-7/4)...simplify
y = 3/4x - 7/4

y = mx + b
y = 3/4x - 7/4.....so the number in the m position is 3/4 <== ur slope
