Answer:

mass of empty basket: 1.21 kg

Explanation:

the mass of basket is constant. Let the mass of basket be "b" and mass of each balls be "m"

Make equations:

  • b + 3(m) = 3.64  ___ equation 1
  • b + 5(m) = 5.26  ___ equation 2

<u>solve them simultaneously,</u>

  • 3.64 - 3(m) = 5.26 - 5(m)
  • -3(m) + 5(m) = 5.26 - 3.64
  • 2(m) = 1.62
  • m = 0.81 kg

<u>mass of basket,</u>

  • b = 3.64 - 3(m)
  • 3.64 - 3(0.81 )
  • 1.21 kg

  1. Bucket be x
  2. balls be y

Now

  • x+3y=3.64=>x=3.64-3y--(1)
  • x+5y=5.26=>x=5.26-5y

So

  • 3.64-3y=5.26-5y
  • -3y+5y=5.26-3.64
  • 2y=1.62
  • y=0.81kg

So

  • x=3.64-3(0.81)=3.64-2.43=1.21kg

What is the value of 4x to the third +4x if x is 4
weqwewe [10]
The correct answer of
4{x}^{2}  + 4x
if x=4 is 272.

to solve the equation if x equals 4, you must substitute the x of the 4.
4( {4}^{3} ) + 4(4)
then solve by order of operations.
solve what is inside the parentheses first
4(64) + 4(4)
then do the multiplication of the factors
256 + 16
then the final step, adding, to get the solution of 272
