Answer:

x = 18.5 (large) , y = 6.25 (small)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by assigning variables to each type of box.

The large box we will call "x"

The small box we will call "y"

We know that 8x + 4y = 173 (kilograms)

And 3x + 2y = 68 (kilograms)

Since we set up a system of equations, we can now use elimination, by multiplying the entire bottom equation by -2, to get rid of the "y" variable.

8x + 4y = 173

3x(-2) + 2y(-2) = 68(-2)

-6x + -4y = -136  (side note: notice how the "y"'s would cancel each other out because -4y + 4y equals 0)

Add equations together:

2x = 37

x= 18.5

Now that we have x, just substitute it into any of the equations to get y.

You will see that y = 6.25

Please mark this brainliest, and I hope this helps!

Two piecewise functions are shown below. What is the value of
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what your problem here is.

you understand the inequality signs ?

anyway, to get

6×f(-2) + 3×g(1)

we can calculate every part of the expression separately, and then combine all the results into one final result.

f(-2)

we look at the definition.

into what category is -2 falling ? the one with x<-2, or the one with x>=-2 ?

is -2 < -2 ? no.

is -2 >= -2 ? yes, because -2 = -2. therefore, it is also >= -2.

so, we have to use

1/3 x³

for x = -2 that is

1/3 × (-2)³ = 1/3 × -8 = -8/3

g(1)

again, we look at the definition.

into what category is 1 falling ? the one with x > 2 ? or the one with x <= 1 ?

is 1 > 2 ? no.

is 1 <= 1 ? yes, because 1=1. therefore it is also <= 1.

so we have to use

2×|x - 1| + 3

for x = 1 we get

2×0 + 3 = 3

6×f(-2) = 6 × -8/3 = 2× -8 = -16

3×g(1) = 3× 3 = 9

and so in total we get

6×f(-2) + 3×g(1) = -16 + 9 = -7

Which statement explains how the lines 2x + y = 4 and y = one halfx + 4 are related?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

They are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem .

we will convert the equations in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept  form of equation is y = mx+c

where m is slope of line and c is y intercept.

________________________________

equation 1 is

2x+y = 4

=> y =4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

equation 2 is y = one halfx + 4 ( one half is same as 1/2)

so equation is

y = x/2 +4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = 1/2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

Now lets evaluate options

They are parallel.  wrong option

For lines to be parallel slope should be same.

But here slope are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not parallel.

__________________________________________

They are perpendicular.  correct option

For lines to be perpendicular, product of slope should be equal to -1.

-2*1/2 = -1

we can see that product of slope should be equal to -1 .

Thus lines are  perpendicular

______________________________________

They are the same line.  wrong option

For lines to be same both slope and y intercept should  be same.

Y intercept is same but the slopes are different -2 and 1/2  .

Thus lines are not  the same line.

__________________________________________

They are not related.       wrong option

As we have found that the lines are perpendicular .

So this option is intuitively wrong

If point C is between A and B, then AC + CB=_____<br><br> A. ABC<br> B. BC<br> C. AB<br> D. CA
velikii [3]

The answer is C. AB. The total line segment is ACB, or AB, because C is in between A and B. If you are adding AC and CB together, you are adding the two parts of the line together.

I hope this helps :)
