Answer:

  • large: 40 lbs
  • small: 20 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations can be written for the weights of the boxes based on the relationships given in the problem statement. One equation will be for the total weight of 1 large and 1 small box; the other will be for the total weight of 70 large and 60 small boxes.

Let L and S represent the weights of Large and Small boxes, respectively. The system of equations is ...

  L + S = 60 . . . . . . combined weight is 60 lbs

  70L +60S = 4000 . . . . weight of boxes in the truck

__

We can solve this by substituting for s in the second equation.

  70L +60(60 -L) = 4000

  10L = 400 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3600, simplify

  L = 40

  S = 60 -L = 20

A large box weighs 40 pounds; a small box weighs 20 pounds.

Rebecca went swimming yesterday. After a while she had covered one fifth of her intended distance. After swimming six more lengt
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Option E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the intended length of Rebecca's swimming is = x units

and we assume the length of the pool = l units

Now it is given in the question that " She covers one fifth of her intended distance "

That means distance covered = \frac{x}{5}

" After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance"

So \frac{x}{5}+6(l)=\frac{x}{4}

6l=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{x}{5}

6l=\frac{x}{20}

x = 20×(6l)

x = 120l

Therefore, Rebecca has to complete 120 lengths of the pool.

Option E is the answer.

A charity organization had to sale 18 tickets to their fundraiser Just to cover necessary production cost.They sold each ticket
Harman [31]

A charity organization had to sale 18 tickets to their fundraiser Just to cover necessary production cost.They sold each ticket for $45.Let y represent the net profit in dollars when they have sold x tickets

Which of the following information about the graph of the relationship is given?

Choose 1 answer:

A

Slope and x-intercept

B

Slope and y-intercept

C

Slope and a point that is not an intercept

D

x-intercept and y-intercept

E

y-intercept and a point that is not an intercept

F

Two points that are not intercepts

Answer:

A. Slope and x-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that each Ticket cost $45 , so the number of ticket sold should be multiplied by the cost of 1 ticket , Also; we were informed that x tickets were sold, this implies that the amount will be $45 multiplied by x , which is $45x. To find the profit (y) , then we must find the cost of 18 tickets which will give us the cost price and then subtract it from the selling price ($45x).

NOW:

Given that :

a charity organization had to sell 18 tickets

and one ticket cost for $45

Then 18 tickets = $45 × 18 = $810

Let y represent the net profit in dollars when they have sold x tickets

So : y = 45 x - 810

Relating the above equation with equation of a straight line  y = mx +c ,

where :

m and c = the numbers on the gradient line   ; &

y = slope

x =  intercept where the graph crosses y - axis

Thus; the information given is the :Slope and x-intercept

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

4 + 36x is your expression

Step-by-step explanation:
