Answer:

10 small boxes and 12 large boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of large boxes

Let y = number of small boxes

We are told that;

volume of each small box = 6 cubic feet

volume of each large box = 22 cubic feet.

Total volume = 324 ft³

Thus;

6x + 22y = 324 - - - (eq 1)

We are told that 22 boxes of paper were shipped.

Thus; x + y = 22 - - - (eq 2)

Making x the subject in eq 2 gives;

x = 22 - y

Put 22 - y for x in eq 1;

6(22 - y) + 22y = 324

132 - 6y + 22y = 324

16y = 324 - 132

16y = 192

y = 192/16

y = 12

So, x = 22 - 12 = 10

Pie

Answer:

Tina is first

Tony is first

Theo is first

Step-by-step explanation:

Events with greater probability are more likely.

Let's put the probabilities in decimal form.

P(Tina is first) = 0.05

P(Theo is first) = %85 = 0.85

P(Tony is first) = 1/10 = 0.1

0.05 < 0.1 < 0.85

The events are listed below from least to most likely.

Tina is first, Tony is first, Theo is first

A teacher writes an inequality x divided by 6 < -2 on the board. Vincent incorrectly solves the inequality and obtains x <

scZoUnD [109]

The error Vincent made was that he only multiplied the left side of the inequality with 6 although he had to multiply on both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality that the teacher wrote is:

$\frac{x}{6} -2$

Solving an inequality means that the variable should be isolated on left side of the inequality.

So multiplying both sides by 6

$6* \frac{2}{6} < -2 * 6\\x < -12$

Vincent got the answer is x<-2 = > The error Vincent made was that he only multiplied the left side of the inequality with 6 although he had to multiply on both sides
