A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two size: the combined weight of a large box and a small box is 65 pounds. The truck i
Bas_tet [7]

pretty much about the same as before.

a = weight of a large box

b = weight of a small box.

we know their combined weight is 65 lbs, thus a + b = 65.

we also know that the truck has 60 large ones, and 55 small ones, thus 60*a is the total weight for the large ones and 55*b is the total weight for the small ones, and we know that is a total of 3775, 60a + 55b = 3775.

\bf \begin{cases} a+b=65\\ \boxed{b}=65-a\\ \cline{1-1} 60a+55b=3775 \end{cases}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{60a+55\left( \boxed{65-a} \right)=3775} \\\\\\ 60a+3575-55a=3775\implies 5a+3575=3775\implies 5a=200 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{200}{5}\implies \blacktriangleright a = 40 \blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{b=65-a\implies }b=65-40\implies \blacktriangleright b=25\blacktriangleleft

A bill to landscape your yard is $720. The Materials cost $375 and the labor is $34.50 per hour. Write and solve an equation to
Igoryamba

Answer:

Hey what'sup?

You need to dig a little in, for what it's actually meaning

Here the total is 720 right?

Which came from the materials and the labors work in hourly basis

So it's like

Cost of the material + no of hours = bill

We don't know what the no of hours are, so let's assume it as 'x'

Hence the required equation is

375+35*x=720

35*x = 720-375

35*x = 345

Therefore x=345/35 =9.8

Therefore they worked for 9.8 hours or approximately 10 hours

Peace out

a painter bought 8 gallons of paint just enough to cover 2 rooms. One room is twice the size of the other and requires only 2 co
e-lub [12.9K]
So, he's got 8 gallons of paint, to paint the two rooms, of the two rooms, one is twice as big as the other

now, "x" is how many gallons to paint the larger room with only one coat, however, the larger room uses 2 coats, so, the larger room uses 2x of paint
now, the client declined to paint the smaller one

so hmmm as I read... well, we dunno how many coats will go to the smaller room for one, we know the larger will use 2 coats, or 2x.. if we assume the smaller room was going to use say 1 coat or 1/2x

then one can say the painter bought enough for both rooms, 1coat for the small one and 2coats for the larger one

so, the paint the larger room, you'll 2x of paint, for 2coatsand to paint the smaller room, you'll need 1/2 x, because x gallons is how much is needed for the larger room, but the larger room is twice as big, thus the smaller room uses 1/2 of that in gallons

thus, with those assumptions, that the small room will use only 1 coat
\bf \cfrac{1}{2}x+2x=8\implies \cfrac{5x}{2}=8\implies x=\cfrac{16}{5}
that's who many gallons are needed for 1 coat in the larger roomrecall "x" is 1coat for the larger room

now, the client decides to skip the smaller roomso, the painter will only need 2x gallons then

\bf 2x\implies 2\cdot \cfrac{16}{5}\implies \cfrac{32}{5}\implies 6.4\ gallons

he bought 8 gallons, 8 - 6.4, he's got left 1.6 gallons
