Answer:
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:
The perimeter of a square with an area of 900 square feet is 120 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation of the perimeter of the square:
Since the area is 900 square feet
We know that
The area of square =
So, length of one side should be 30
Now the perimeter should be
= 4(30)
= 120 ft.
Hence, The perimeter of a square with an area of 900 square feet is 120 ft.
C) -2 and 4 because it crosses over the x - axis
AM=3x+3
AB=8x-6
AB=2AM
AM=AB/2
AM=(8x-6)/2
AM=4x-3
3x+3=4x-3
4x-3x=3+3
x=6
AM=3x+3
AM=3(6)+3
AM=18+3
AM=21
