Answer:
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
2L + 3S = 83
4L + 8S = 197
Multiplies the top equation by -2.
-4L + -6S = -166
4l + 8S = 197
Adding them together...
2S = 31
S = 31/2 = 15.5
Plugging into the first equation:
2L + 3S = 83
2L + 3(15.5) = 83
2L + 46.5 = 83
2L = 83 - 46.5
2L = 36.5
L = 36.5/2 = 18.25
check:
2L + 3S = 2(18.25) + 3(15.5) = 36.5 + 46.5 = 83
4L + 8S = 4(18.25) + 8(15.5) = 73 + 124 = 197
The Large box weighs 18.25
The small box weighs 15.5
The answer is 3/5
Just keep the distributive property in mind.
Slope of a line can be determined using this formula
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
From the question, we know that
(x₁,y₁) = (2,-3)
(x₂,y₂) = (2,9)
plug the numbers into the formula
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
m = (9 - (-3)) / (2 - 2)
m = (9 + 3) / (2 - 2)
m = 12/0
m = undefined
The pairs must form a vertical line
