Given :

The Mad Hat Company must ship two different-sized boxes: The small ones cost them 45 cents each and weigh 6 ounces, and the large ones weigh 25 ounces and cost $1.20 each.

The total shipment this morning weighed 20 pounds 7 ounces and cost $18.45.

To Find :

How many packages of each size were shipped.

Solution :

We know, 1 pound = 16 ounces.

So, 20 pound = 20×16 = 320 ounces.

Let, number of large and small box are l and s.

So,

25l + 6s = 327 ...1)

0.45s + 1.20l = 18.45 ...2)

Solving both the equations, we get :

x = 9 and y = 17

Therefore, package smaller and big size are 17 and 9 respectively .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following shows that polynomials are closed under subtraction when two polynomials, (5x2 3x 4) − (2x2 5x − 1), are
Verizon [17]

The closure property under subtraction is shown when the correct

result from the subtraction of polynomials is also a polynomial.

Response:

  • The option that shows that polynomials are closed under subtraction is; <u>3·x² - 2·x + 5 will be a polynomial</u>.

<h3>How is the option that shows the closure property found?</h3>

The closure property under subtraction for the polynomials is condition

in which the result of the difference between two polynomials is also a

polynomial.

The given polynomials being subtracted is presented as follows;

(5·x² + 3·x + 4) - (2·x² + 5·x - 1)

Which gives;

(5·x² + 3·x + 4) - (2·x² + 5·x - 1) = 3·x² - 2·x + 5

Given that the result of the subtraction, 3·x² - 2·x + 5, is also a

polynomial, we have, that the option that shows that polynomials are

closed under subtraction is; <u>3·x² - 2·x + 5 will (always) be a polynomial</u>.
