Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The box  when shipped is 5 pounds

The box alone =                 <u>2 poun</u>ds         Subtract

What's left is                       3 pounds

1 sea turtle weighs            1 pound

3 sea turtles weigh            x

1/3 = 1 / x                             Cross multiply

1*x = 3*1

x = 3

He ships 3 sea turtles.

Answers matching "The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450 kilograms. The average weight of 3 llamas is 190 ki
kirill [66]

Let us say that:

x = weight of llamas

y = weight of okapi

 

From the problem, we can create the equations:

x + y = 450           --> 1

3 x = y + 190        --> 2

 

Rewriting equation 1:

x = 450 – y

 

From equation 2:

3 (450 – y) = y + 190

1350 – 3 y = y + 190

4 y = 1160

y = 290

 

From equation 1:

x = 450 – 290

x = 160

 

Therefore a llama weighs 160 kilograms while okapi weigh 290 kilograms on average.

Morty spent $54 on tulips and roses and bought a total of 14 flowers. If tulips cost $5 and roses $3
Tom [10]

Answer:

a) Let's define the variables:

t = number of tulips bought

r = number of roses bought

We know that each tulip costs $5, and each rose costs $3.

Then the total cost will be:

$5*t + $3*r

We know that Morty spent a total of $54, then we have the equation:

$5*t + $3*r = $54

We also know that he bought a total of 14 flowers, then:

r + t = 14

Then the system of equations is:

$5*t + $3*r = $54

r + t = 14

b) To solve the system, first, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations. I will isolate r in the second one:

r = 14 - t

Now we can replace this into the other equation:

$5*t + $3*r = $54

$5*t + $3*(14 - t) = $54

Now we can solve this for t.

$5*t + $3*14 - $3*t = $54

$2*t + $42 = $54

$2*t = $54 - $42 = $12

t = $12/$2 = 6

t = 6

He bought 6 tulips.

Now we can use the equation r = 14 - t

r = 14 - 6 = 8

r = 8

He bought 8 roses.

What is the equation of the line through(4,2) and (0,-2)?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

y =  x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 2 )

m = \frac{-2-2}{0-4} = \frac{-4}{-4} = 1

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 2 ) ⇒ c = - 2

y = x - 2 ← equation of line

Do line segments with the given lengths form a right triangle? State whether the line segments with the given lengths form a rig
Dvinal [7]

Given:

19, 180, 181

To be able to determine if the given lengths form a right triangle, the following condition must be met:

\text{ a}^2\text{ + }b^2=c^2

Let's check.

a.) At a = 19, b = 180, c = 181

\begin{gathered} \text{ a}^2\text{ + }b^2=c^2 \\ (19)^2+(180)^2=(181)^2 \\ 361\text{ + 32,400 = 32,761} \\ 32,761\text{ = 32,761} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the given lengths could form a right triangle at a = 19, b = 180 and c = 181.

The answer is yes.

It just happened to be that we got the right answer on the first try, you must also examine at a = 180, b = 181, c = 19 and a = 181, b = 19, c = 180 if the first try didn't meet the right condition.

If you failed to get, then the given lengths could not form a right triangle. The answer would be no.
