One box is placed on a scale. A second box that is known to weigh 10 pounds less than the first box is stacked on top of the first box.

Together, the boxes weigh 48 pounds.

If w represents the weight of the first box placed on the scale, write a problem ?

Answers

Answer 1

Let w represents the weight of the first box placed on the scale and y represent the weight of the second box.

The second box weigh 10 pounds less than the first box. Hence:

y = w - 10

-w + y = -10     (1)

The two boxes weigh 48 pounds. hence:

w + y = 48       (2)

Solving both equations gives:

w = 29, y = 19

The first box weighs 29 pounds while the second box weighs 19 pounds.

A graph is shown below:

Whích of the following inequalities is best represented by this graph? (4 points)

Answers

Answer:

  5x -y ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the boundary line is positive, so the x- and y-coefficients will have opposite signs when the equation is written in standard form (eliminates choices A, B).

The graph is shaded for x-values greater than those on the boundary line, so the form of the desired equation will be ...

  ax -by c . . . . . for some positive values of a, b, c

This eliminates choice C and indicates the correct choice is the last one:

  5x -y ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

you see it has 2 equal sides, so the triangle is an isosceles triangle. If the triangle is isosceles, then its 2 base angles are equal, that is, x = 79 according to the triangle property, the 3 angles add up to 180 degrees, so you take 180 degrees minus 2 * 79 degrees you get a y angle equal to 22 degrees

Suppose a spherical balloon is inflated at the rate of 10 cubic centimeters per minute. How fast is the radius of the balloon increasing when the radius is 5 cm

Answers

Answer: The radius increases by 0.032 cm/minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume, V, of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr^3.

For the volume to increase at a rate of 10cc (cubic centimeters) per minute, the radius must increase such that the additional radius (r)^3 = 10

V = (4/3)πr^3

V = (4/3)π5^3

V = 524 cc

We add 10 cc to have the balloon hold 544 cc.  We calculate the increase in radius:

534=(4/3)*pi*x^3

We can now calculate the new radius, x.

x = 5.032 cm

The radius increased by 0.032 cm/minute.

Julissa is printing out copies for a work training. It takes 4 minutes to print a color copy, and it takes 2 minutes to print a grayscale copy. She needs to print no fewer than 8 copies within 25 minutes.

Which system of inequalities represents the number of color copies, x, and grayscale copies, y, that Julissa can print to meet her goal?

Answers

Answer:

4x  + 2y  ≤  25   ,      x + y ≥  8     is the required system of inequalities to represent the given situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, let  the number of color copies =  x

Now, the time taken to print each color copy = 4 minutes

⇒Time taken to print x color copies = x times ( Time taken by each copy)

= 4 (x)   = 4x

and let  the number gray scale copies =  y

The time taken to print each gray scale copy = 2 minutes

⇒Time taken to print y gray scale copy = y times (Time taken by each copy)

= 2 (y)   = 2y

Total copies printed = x + y

Maximum time taken to print x  color copies and y grayscale copies

= 4x  + 2y

So, according to the question:

4x  + 2y  ≤  25 ( as maximum allotted time is 25 minutes)

and x + y ≥  8      (as minimum number of copies is 8)

hence, the above system is the required system of inequalities to represent the given situation.

What is the measure of angle xyz

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LET:

∠XYW=Y

X,Y and W are the angles of triangle so:

X + Y + W=180

3x+11+Y+5x+1=180

Y=180-12-8x

Y=168-8x

Now ∠XYW and ∠XYZ are the angles of a straight line:

∠XYW+∠XYZ=180

168-8x+12x-20=180

4x+148=180

4x=180-148

4x=32

x=32/4

x=8

Now substitute value of x in Y:

∠(12x-20)=12(8)-20

∠Y=76
