Answer: 14 tons

$3,860.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount of sugar transported.

First company:

The cost is $3157 truck rental plus $50.25 per ton of sugar.

Total cost = 3157 + 50.25x dollars

Second company:

There is no charge for truck rental, but it costs $275.75 per ton of sugar.

The total cost is

275.75x

When the two costs are the same, then

275.75x = 3157 +50.25x

225.5x = 3157

x = 14 tons

The total cost is 275.75*14 = $3,860.50

Answer:

16 pounds of sugar

The initial cost to transport it would be $4812

Okay

So lets do company 1=a

2=b

So the equation for company a is

3604+75.5x

The second one is

300.75x

Now I would find the LCM

So I just predicted (guess and check)

so obviously 15 can be a good shot but that off a little bit,

16

so if you plug in 16 for each options for X

3604+75.5*16= 4812

The second company

300.75*16=4812

SO their the same

So 4812 cost, 16 tons

The best scale would probably be going by 10s. You should start at around 80 and go up to 160.

(2, -4) → x = 2, y = -4

Put the coordinates of the point to the inequality.

y < x - 2 → -4 < 2 - 2 → -4 < 0   TRUE

y ≥ -x -4 → -4 ≥ -2 - 2 → -4 ≥ -4  TRUE

Answer:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y


You can check other systems.

(2) y > x - 2 → -4 > 2 - 2 → -4 > 0   FALSE

(3) y ≤ -x - 4 → -4 ≤ -2 - 4 → -4 ≤ -6    FALSE

(4) y > x - 2 → -4 > 2 - 2 → -4 > 0   FALSE

A quilt is designed using a square pattern. Each square contains two rectangles. Each rectangle contains a shaded rhombus.
leva [86]

The sum of angles in any Rhombus is 360 degrees.Opposite angles of a rhombus are congruent.

Two of the adjacent angles are 2x+20 and 50 degrees.

The opposite angles measure 2x+20 and 50 degrees.

Sum of angles in any Rectangle is 360

2x+20+50+2x+20+50=360

Adding line terms,

4x+140=360

Subtracting 140 both sides:

4x=220

Dividing both sides by 4

x=55

Option B. 55  is the right answer.
