Answer:

Shipping Fee = $ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question and the table is as follows :

Given - Julio is ordering books from Best Books for his reading club. The table shows Julio's total cost of the book order, Including the shipping fee for each order. Best Books charges the same shipping fee for every book order.

To find - How much is the shipping fee?

Proof -

We know that,

Total Cost = (Number of books buy)(Cost of 1 book) + Shipping Fee

Let us Assume that,

Cost of 1 book = x

Shipping Fee = y

So,

From the table, we get

21 = 5x + y               ..........(1)

36 = 10x + y              ..........(2)

51 = 15x + y               ..........(3)

66 = 20x + y             ..........(4)

From equation (1), we get

y = 21 - 5x

Put the value of y in equation (2), we get

36 = 10x + 21 - 5x

⇒36 = 5x + 21

⇒5x = 36 - 21

⇒5x = 15

⇒x = \frac{15}{5} = 3

∴ we get

x = 3

Put the value of x , we get

y = 21 - 5(3)

  = 21 - 15

  = 6

⇒y = 6

SO, we get

x = 3

y = 6

Verify the 4 Equations :

21 = 5x + y               ..........(1)

21 = 5(3) + 6

    = 15 + 6

    = 21

⇒21 = 21

Verified

36 = 10x + y              ..........(2)

36 = 10(3) + 6

     = 30 + 6

     = 36

⇒36 = 36

Verified

51 = 15x + y               ..........(3)

51 = 15(3) + 6

    = 45 + 6

    = 51

⇒51 = 51

Verified

66 = 20x + y             ..........(4)

66 = 20(3) + 6

     = 60 + 6

     = 66

⇒66 = 66

Verified

So, we get

Cost of 1 book = x = $ 3

Shipping Fee = y = $ 6

Two planes, which are 2235 miles apart, fly toward each other. Their speeds differ by 95 mph. If they pass each other in 3 hours
lora16 [44]

Answer:

325 mph and 420 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed of the slower plane is x, then the speed of the faster plane is x + 95.

The distance traveled by the slower plane is 3x.

The distance traveled by the faster plane is 3(x + 95).

The total distance is 2235 miles.

3x + 3(x + 95) = 2235

3x + 3x + 285 = 2235

6x = 1950

x = 325

x + 95 = 420

The speed of the planes is 325 mph and 420 mph.

The altitude a ( in feet) of a plane t minutes after lift off is given by a=3400t+600
Julli [10]

Answer:

  6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

'a' in the formula represents altitude in feet. You are told the altitude is 21000 feet, so put that into the formula:

   21000 = 3400t +600

You can solve this for t:

  20400 = 3400t . . . . . subtract 600 from both sides

  6 = t . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 3400

The problem statement tells you that t represents minutes after lift off, so this solution means the altitude is 21000 feet 6 minutes after lift off.

The question is asking for the number of minutes after lift off that the plane reaches an altitude of 21000 feet, so this answers the question directly:

  The plane is at an altitude of 21000 feet 6 minutes after lift off.

Is respect more important or is money more important?Explain Why
antiseptic1488 [7]
Respect is definitely more important than money because money is printed everyday there is tons of it. But respect is hard to get nowadays and is even easier to lose. Have you ever stopped and thought about the meanest thing that you have said to your friend? To someone online? Does that sound like respect to you?
