Answer:
- large: 18.5 kg
- small: 15.75 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b and s represent the weights of the big and small boxes, respectively. Then the two delivered weights can be summarized as ...
5b +6s = 187
3b +2s = 87
We can eliminate the "s" variable by subtracting the first equation from 3 times the second:
3(3b +2s) -(5b +6s) = 3(87) -(187)
4b = 74 . . . . . collect terms
b = 18.5 . . . . . divide by 4
Using this value in the second equation, we find ...
3(18.5) +2s = 87
2s = 31.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 55.5
s = 15.75 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The large box weighs 18.5 kg; the small box weighs 15.75 kg.
-7 x 7 = -49
We can first figure out 7 x 7, which will be 49. Once we have that, we can look at our negatives. If we have an odd number of negative signs, the answer will be negative. If we have an even number of negative signs, the answer will be positive. In this case, we only have 1 negative sign, and 1 is odd, therefore our answer will be odd.
ANSWER: -49
Hope this helps!
To solve, lets find the volumes of all of the options...
V=l*w*h
A.
6*3*4=72cm³
12*2*3=72cm³
B.
2*4*9=72cm³
9*4*2=72cm³
C.
3*3*8=72cm³
2*6*8=96cm³
D.
6*3*4=72cm³
9*4*3=108cm³
We can conclude that C & D aren't the answer, since they contain prisms that don't have a volume of 72cm³.
Now lets solve for the surface area of A and B...
A.
sA=2(wh+lw+lh)=2(6*3+4*6+4*3)=2(18+24+12)=2(54)=108cm²
sA=2(wh+lw+lh)=2(12*2+3*12+3*2)=2(24+36+6)=2(56)=112cm²
B.
sA=2(wh+lw+lh)=2(2*4+9*2+9*4)=2(8+18+36)=2(62)=124cm²
sA=2(wh+lw+lh)=2(9*4+2*9+2*4)=2(36+18+8)=2(62)=124cm²
A is the only option with both similar volumes of 72cm³ and different surface areas...
Answer=A
well, first off, we do a quick prime factoring of the leading term's coefficient, 35, and the constant, 16.
35 = 5*7
16 = 2*2*2*2
and the rest is just a mix and match.
what combination from the factors of 35 and the factors of 16, can provide a product whose sum is the middle term 26? well, without further adieu.
we can try 5*2*2 + 7*2*2, and that's 20 and 28, ok, 28 - 20 is 8, so that won't work.
another can be 5*2*7 and 2*2, that's 70 and 4, 70 - 4 is 56, that won't work either.
5*2*2*2 and 7*2, that's 40 and 14, hmmm 40 - 14 = 26!!! holly guacamole!
so then,
