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

A group of adults and students went on a class trip to Washington, DC. The number of male students was 1 more than 7 times the n
Helga [31]
In equation, let x be the number of male students
a be the number of adults
y be the number of female students.
x= 7a+1
a= x/7 -1
y= x/2 or (7a + 1)/ 2

a + b = 82, let b be the number of students.
a + (x + y) = 82
a + [7a+1 + (7a+1)/2] = 82
a + [{2(7a+1) + 7a+1} / 2] = 82
a + [(14a +2 + 7a +1) / 2] = 82
a + [(21a + 3) / 2] = 82
(2a+ 21a + 3) / 2 = 82
(23a + 3) / 2 = 82
23a + 3 = 164
23a = 164 -3 
23a = 161
a = 7

x = 7(7) +1, 49+1 = 50 male students
y=x/2, 50/2, 25 female students

50(male students) + 25(female students)  + 7 (adults) = 82

Describe the transformation from the parent function y=(x+4)^2-1
Degger [83]

Answer:

Translation 4 units to the left., followed by

a translation 1 unit down.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is y = x^2 which is a parabola that opens upwards and has a vertex at the point (0,0).

Y = (x + 4)^2 is the graph of x^2 translated  4 units to the left.

The - 1 translates the graph down 1 unit.

So the vertex of the new graph is at (-4, 1).

Which statement describes the relationship between x and y
musickatia [10]
The points lie on a line. Such a pattern is called a linear relationship because it represents a straight line relationship between the coordinates of the points. We can describe the relationship between x and y in words as follows: The y-coordinate is three times the x-coordinate.....hope this helps
