Let's let the weight of a large box be L, and the weight of a small box be S.
We know that 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes is 120kg, so:
5L + 3S = 120
We also know that 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes is 234kg, so:
7L + 9S = 234
You can multiply the first equation by 3 to get:
15L + 9S = 360
See how now both equations have 9S? We can now subtract one from the other:
(15L+9S) - (7L+9S) = 360-234
8L = 126
L = 15.75
Now sub this value back into an equation:
(5x15.75) + 3S = 120
3S = 41.25
S = 13.75
Double check these values
(7x15.75) + (9x13.75)
= 110.25 + 123.75
=234, which is consistent with above.
So a large box is 15.75kg, and a small box is 13.75kg.
Hope this helped
If you would like to know how many papers will be missing the name, you can calculate this using the following steps:
30% of 200 homework papers = 30% * 200 = 30/100 * 200 = 60 homework papers
The correct result would be a) between 50 and 70 papers will be missing the name.
12 is the greatest number because it is the highest common factor between the three numbers.
Answer:
It is not possible to solve the equation y = 4x + 3. This is merely a relation between two variables x and y. The variable y is 3 greater than 4 times the variable x.
