Answer:

5 of the 7 boxes are 8 inches in height

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically;

1 ft = 12 inches

So, 5 ft will measure 5 * 12 = 60 inches

So from what we have ,

We want to combine 8 and 10 inches to give 60 inches total

Let the number of 10 inches be x and the number of 8 inches be y

Mathematically;

x + y = 7 •••••(i)

10x + 8y = 60 ••••(ii)

From equation i, x = 7-y

Put this in equation ii

10(7-y) + 8y = 60

70-10y + 8y = 60

70-60 = 10y-8y

2y = 10

y = 10/2

y = 5

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72 what are the smallest of these numbers
Airida [17]
A + b + c = 72

a = b - 1

c = b + 1

 

(b - 1) + b + (b + 1) = 72

Simplify

3b = 72

b = 24

 

a = 24 - 1

a = 23

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 28 because this triangle will add up to 180 degrees and 79 + 73 = 152 and

180 - 152 = 28 so 28 is our missing angle!

Hope this helps you!
