Answer:
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem may be solved by a system of equations:
I am going to say that:
x is the number of small boxes used
y is the number of large boxes used
There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped
This means that y = 2x
Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.
This means that 45x + 80y =1435
So we have to solve the following system:
y=2x
45x + 80y =1435
45x + 80 (2x) = 1435
205x = 1435
x= 1435/205
x=7
y=2x= 2(7) = 14
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
Mm dont know but keep trying
Answer:
6x-11y=-13
Step-by-step explanation:
(x1,y1)=(3/2,2) and (x2,y2)=(-4,-1)
y-y1= y2-y1/x2-x1 (x-x1)
y-2=-3/-11/2(x-3/2)
=6/11(x-3/2)
11(y-2)=6x-9
11y-22=6x-9
6x-11y=9-22
6x-11y=-13
Answer:
22 posts
Step-by-step explanation:
on the side of 20 feet you have 5 fence posts each in including one on each of the corners. On the 35 feet side you would have 8 including the corners, but since the corner posts are done its 6 on each 35 feet side. So you get 5+5+6+6=22
