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.

The following set of coordinates most specifically represents which figure? (−5, 6), (−1, 8), (3, 6), (−1, 4) (6 points) Paralle
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are A(−5, 6), B(−1, 8), C(3, 6), D(−1, 4).

We use the distance formula to find the length of AB.

|AB|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(8-6)^2}

|AB|=\sqrt{16+4}

|AB|=\sqrt{20}

The length of AD is

|AD|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(6-4)^2}

|AD|=\sqrt{16+4}

|AD|=\sqrt{20}

The length of BC is:

|BC|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(8-6)^2}

|BC|=\sqrt{16+4}

|BC|=\sqrt{20}

The length of CD is

|CD|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(6-4)^2}

|CD|=\sqrt{16+4}

|CD|=\sqrt{20}

Since all sides are congruent the quadrilateral could be a rhombus or a square.

Slope of AB=\frac{8-6}{-1--5}=\frac{1}{2}

Slope of BC =\frac{8-6}{-1-3}=-\frac{1}{2}

Since the slopes of the adjacent sides are not negative reciprocals of each other, the quadrilateral cannot be  a square. It is a rhombus

What is the value of n so that the expression x^2+12X+n is a perfect square trinomial?
Anton [14]
N is equal = 36

Or

n = 6^2

Because,

x^2 + 12x + 36 = x^2 + 2.6x + 6^2

= ( x + 6)^2
