Answer:

The small box contains 21 cans

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the small box with S and the large with L.

For Estelle:

3L + 5S = 170

For the boy:

4L + 4S = 184

Required

Determine the cans in the small box

3L + 5S = 170 --- (1)

4L + 4S = 184 --- (2)

Divide (2) through by 4

L + S = 46

Make L the subject

L = 46 -S

Substitute 46 - S for L in (1)

3L + 5S = 170

3(46 - S) + 5S = 170

Open bracket

128 - 3S + 5S = 170

128 + 2S = 170

Collect Like Terms

2S = 170-128

2S = 42

Divide both sides by 2

S = 21

<em>Hence, the small box contains 21 cans</em>

Basit played and online Pin Ball game the first time we got our score of 25000 point then he is called 125000 point and third ti
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Average score per game = 60,000 per game

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points scored in first game = 25,000

Points scored in second game = 125,000

Points scored in third game = 30,000

Find:

Average score per game

Computation:

Average = Sum of observation / Number of observation

So,

Sum of all game = 25,000 + 125,000 + 30,000

Sum of all game = 180,000

Number of games = 3

Average score per game = 180,000 / 3

Average score per game = 60,000 per game

9-c=-13<br> What’s the answer
trapecia [35]
First you do -13+9. That equals -4.
Then bring down -c=-4 because there is a 1 in front of the c so -1c.
Next divide both sides by -1. The -c side cancels out so then your left with -4/-1.
That equals positive 4.
C=4
That’s ur answer.
