A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. the combined weight of a large box and a small box is 95 pounds. the truck is transporting 50 large boxes and 65 small boxes. if the truck is carrying a total of 5275 pounds in boxes, how much does each type of box weigh?

Answers

Answer 1

Final answer:

By setting up a system of linear equations from the given conditions, we can determine that a large box weighs 60 pounds, and a small box weighs 35 pounds.

Explanation:

To solve the problem involving the weights of large and small boxes being transported by a delivery truck, we can set up a system of linear equations. Let L represent the weight of a large box and S represent the weight of a small box. We know from the problem statement the following:

A large box plus a small box weighs 95 pounds: L + S = 95

Total weight of all boxes: 50L + 65S = 5275

Now we can solve this system of equations by substitution or elimination. If we solve the first equation for L, we get L = 95 - S. Substituting this into the second equation gives us:

50(95 - S) + 65S = 5275

Expanding and simplifying the equation, we get:

4750 - 50S + 65S = 5275

15S = 5275 - 4750

15S = 525

S = 35

Now that we have the weight of the small box, we can substitute it back into the first equation to find the weight of the large box:

L + 35 = 95

L = 60

Therefore, a large box weighs 60 pounds, and a small box weighs 35 pounds.

which are the solutions of the quadratic equation x^2=9x+6

Answers

You can use the quadratic equation to solve this once you have this set equal to zero. The answers would be roughly 9.6 and -0.6. 

The solutions of the quadratic equation [tex]\(x^2 = 9x + 6\)[/tex]are:

[tex]\[x = \frac{9 + \sqrt{105}}{2}\][/tex] and [tex]\[x = \frac{9 - \sqrt{105}}{2}\][/tex]

To find the solutions of the quadratic equation [tex]\(x^2 = 9x + 6\)[/tex], we need to rewrite it in standard quadratic form [tex]\(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\).[/tex]

Given:

[tex]\[x^2 = 9x + 6\][/tex]

Subtract [tex]\(9x\) and \(6\)[/tex] from both sides to get it in standard form:

[tex]\[x^2 - 9x - 6 = 0\][/tex]

Now, to solve this quadratic equation, we can factor it or use the quadratic formula:

The quadratic formula is:

[tex]\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\][/tex]

For our equation:

[tex]\[a = 1, b = -9, \text{ and } c = -6\][/tex]

Substituting these values into the quadratic formula:

[tex]\[x = \frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{(-9)^2-4(1)(-6)}}{2(1)}\]\[x = \frac{9 \pm \sqrt{81+24}}{2}\]\[x = \frac{9 \pm \sqrt{105}}{2}\][/tex]

So, the solutions of the quadratic equation [tex]\(x^2 = 9x + 6\)[/tex]are:

[tex]\[x = \frac{9 + \sqrt{105}}{2}\][/tex] and [tex]\[x = \frac{9 - \sqrt{105}}{2}\][/tex]

A large bag of marbles contains an equal amount of red, orange, yellow, blue, and green marbles. Brody randomly selects 1 marble from the bag. Which of the following represents the probability of selecting a red, blue, yellow, or green marble
A) 0.8
B) 0.7
C) 0.9
D) 0.6

Answers

the answer will be
[tex] \frac{4}{5} = 0.8[/tex]
hope this helps

Answer:  The correct option is (A) 0.8.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a  large bag of marbles contains an equal amount of red, orange, yellow, blue, and green marbles. Brody randomly selects 1 marble from the bag.

We are to find the probability of selecting a red, blue, yellow or green marble.

Let n be the number of each color of marbles in the bag.

That is, the number of red, orange, yellow, blue, and green marbles, each equals n.

Let S denote the sample space of selecting a marble from the bag and A denote the event of selecting a red, blue, yellow or green marble.

Then, we have

n(S) = n + n + n + n + n = 5n,

n(A) = n + n + n + n = 4n.

Therefore, the probability of event A is given by

[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{4n}{5n}=\dfrac{4}{5}=0.8.[/tex]

Thus the required probability selecting a red, blue, yellow or green marble is 0.8.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

If the function graphed is f(x), find f(1).
A) -4
B) -1/4

C) 0
D) 4

Answers

Answer: choice A) -4

-----------------------------------------------

Step 1) Draw a vertical line through 1 on the x axis

Step 2) Mark the point where the vertical line and the blue curve intersect (or cross each other)

Step 3) Draw a horizontal line through the point marked in step 2. Note how this horizontal line goes through -4 on the y axis. 

So the point (1,-4) is on the blue curve. This means if x = 1 is the input then y = -4 is the output. Recall that y = f(x). So f(x) = -4 is the output as well when the input is x = 1.

In short, this is why f(1) = -4

El lote de la familia lópez tiene un lote de 16m*10m y se desea construir una casa de base rectangular en el centro de el.¿que dimensiones debe tener el rectángulo del piso de la casa si tiene un área de 91m2?

Answers

The dimensions of the house should be 7 m by 13 m.

If the house is to be centered, we will take the same amount from the width as we do from the length of the lot for the dimensions.  This gives us (10-x) and (16-x) as the dimensions.

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length and width:
(10-x)(16-x) = 91

Multiplying the binomials we have:
10*16 - x*10 - x*16 -x*(-x) = 91
160 - 10x - 16x --x² = 91
160-10x-16x+x² =91

Combine like terms:
160-26x+x²=91

Rewrite this in standard form:
x²-26x+160=91

Subtract 91 from both sides:
x²-26x+160-91 = 91-91
x²-26x+69 = 0

Factoring this, we look for factors of 69 that sum to -26.  -23*-3 = 69 and -23+-3 = -26, so:

(x-23)(x-3) = 0

Using the zero product property we know that either x-23=0 or x-3=0, so x=23 or x=3. 

x was the amount we take off of the width and length of the lot; if we took 23m off of it, 10-23 gives us a negative amount, which is not realistic. This means both the width and length are subtracted by 3.

10-3 = 7 and 16-3 = 13.

These are the dimensions of the house.

Can someone please help me solve for x and y? Thank you

Answers

Answer: 
Choice D) x*y = -10

============================================

Explanation:

Multiply both sides of the first equation by 10 to clear out the fractions (10 is the LCD)
3x/5 + y/2 = 13/10
10*(3x/5 + y/2) = 10*(13/10)
6x + 5y = 13

Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to get each decimal value to turn into a whole number (move the decimal point over 2 spots to the right)
0.5y + 0.04x = 2.42
50y + 4x = 242
4x + 50y = 242

So we have this new system of equations which is equivalent to the original system
6x + 5y = 13
4x + 50y = 242

Multiply both sides of the top equation by 10 so that the 5y turns into 50y
6x + 5y = 13
10*(6x + 5y) = 10*13
60x + 50y = 130

Now we have this system of equations
60x + 50y = 130
4x + 50y = 242

If we subtract straight down then we have
60x-4x = 56x
50y-50y = 0y = 0 ... notice how the y terms go away effectively
130-242 = -112

The y terms go away leaving us with this simplified equation
56x = -112
Which solves to
x = -2
when we divide both sides by 56

Now use that x value to find y
6x + 5y = 13
6(-2) + 5y = 13 ... replace x with -2
-12 + 5y = 13
-12+5y+12 = 13+12 ... adding 12 to both sides
5y = 25
5y/5 = 25/5 .... dividing both sides by 5
y = 5

In summary we have x = -2 and y = 5. Therefore, x*y = -2*5 = -10 is the answer
