The total weight of the shipment three in pounds is 2430 pounds

Each small crate in the shipment weighs the same and each large crate in the shipment weighs the same. Therefore,

Let

x = weight of each small crate

y = weight of each large crate

Therefore, for a shipment that contains 50 small crates and 32 large crates and weighs a total of 4170 pounds can be represented as follows:

  • 50x + 32y = 4170

For a shipment that contains 25 small crates and 40 large crates and weighs a total of 3525 pounds can be represented as follows:

  • 25x + 40y = 3525
<h3>Simultaneous Equation:</h3>

50x + 32y = 4170

25x + 40y = 3525

50x + 80y = 7050

50x + 32y = 4170

48y = 2880

y = 2880 / 48

y = 60

Therefore,

50x + 32(60) = 4170

50x = 2250

x = 2250 / 50

x = 45

The shipment three have the following weight:

  • 30(45) + 18(60) = 1350 + 1080 = 2430 pounds

$2,00 after. 3 years at an interest rate of 2.5% is$round up to the nearest cent
slava [35]
To answer the question, I assume that the interest (i) is compounded. To solve for the future worth (F) of the present investment (P) is calculated by the equation,
                                     F = P x (1 + i)^n
where n is the number of years. Substituting the known values,
                           F = ($2000) x (1 + 0.025)^3 = $2,153.78 
Thus, the answer is approximately $2,153.8.

Find all the complex roots of the equation x4 − 16 = 0.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

4+16=0

4=−16=162

2=±4

Case 1  2=+4

=±2√

√=±(12√+12√)

=±2‾√+2‾√

Case 2  2=−4=43

=±23/2=±2()1/2

∵√=±(12√+12√)

=±(2‾√+2‾√)

So in all,

=2‾√+2‾√

=−2‾√+2‾√

=2‾√−2‾√

=−2‾√−2‾√

Let  √=+

Squaring both sides, we have

=(+)2

0+1=2−2+2⟹

2−2=0(1)

2=1

=12

Plugging in  (1)  … ⟹

2−1(2)2=0

4=14

2=12

∴=±12‾√

∴=±12‾√

∴√=+=±(12+12)

This can also be shown as below

√=12+12

Or

√=−12−12 \
