A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The combined weight of a large box and a small box is 70 pounds. The truck is transporting
50 large boxes and 70 small boxes. If the truck is carrying a total of 4100 pounds in boxes, how much does each type of box weigh?

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

one small box = 30 pounds

one large box = 40 pounds

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

Work Shown:

S = weight of one small boxL = weight of one large box

S+L = 70 since the two boxes combine to 70 pounds.

70S = weight of 70 small boxes

50L = weight of 50 large boxes

70S+50L = weight of 70 small and 50 large

70S+50L = 4100

The system of equations is

[tex]\begin{cases}S+L = 70\\70S+50L = 4100\end{cases}[/tex]

There are a few ways to solve this system. I'll use substitution.

I'm going to isolate L in the first equation like so

S+L = 70

L = 70-S

Which I'll then plug into the other equation to solve for S

70S+50L = 4100

70S+50(70-S) = 4100

70S+3500-50S = 4100

20S+3500 = 4100

20S = 4100-3500

20S = 600

S = 600/20

S = 30

Each small box is 30 pounds.

Use this value of S to find L

L = 70-S

L = 70-30

L = 40

Each large box is 40 pounds.

Like we expect, each large box weighs more compared to any given small box.

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

Check:

S+L = 30+40 = 70 verifies the first equation70S+50L = 70*30+50*40 = 4100 verifies the second equation

Both equations are true for the ordered pair (S,L) = (30,40). Therefore, the answers have been confirmed.

You sit in the bleachers at a concert. The angle of depression from your horizontal sight to the stage is 24 degrees. If your seat is 45 feet above the stage level what is your actual distance d from the stage

Answers

Answer:

x=111ft

Step-by-step

sin 24 = 45/x

+ the parallel lines

45 +x+24

x= 45/sin 24

The actual distance of your from the stage is 111 feet.

What is angle of depression?

The angle formed by the line of sight and the horizontal plane for an object below the horizontal is called angle of depression.

What is sine of an angle?

The sine (sin) of an acute angle in a right angled triangle is the ratio between the side opposite the angle and the hypotenuse of the triangle.

According to the given question

We have

Angle of depression = 24degrees.

Let d be the actual distance of your from the stage.

Now in right angle triangle ABC

We have

AC = 45 feet

And, ∠ABC = 24 degrees

Now the Sine of an angle ∠ABC is given by

[tex]sin24 = \frac{AC}{AB}[/tex]

⇒[tex]sin24=\frac{45}{d}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]0.406=\frac{45}{d}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]d =\frac{45}{0.406}[/tex]

⇒[tex]d = 110.64 feet[/tex] or [tex]111feet[/tex]

Hence, the actual distance of your from the stage is 111 feet.

Answers

Answer:

Solution to the system of equation y = 0.7x − 2 and 2x + y = 25 is (- 27, - 9).

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation of degree one. In general, the variable or the variables(in the case of a linear equation in two variables) the variables are x and y.

Given are two equations y = 0.7x − 2 and 2x + y = 25.

Now let us write these equations in a similar manner.

y = 0.7x − 2 ⇒ - 0.7x + y = - 2...(i)

2x + y = 25...(ii)

Now subtracting eqn(i) from eqn(ii) to cancel out the term y we get

2.7x = - 27.

x = - 10 and substituting the value of x in any one of the equations we get

y = 0.7(-10) - 2.

y = - 7 - 2.

y = - 9.

So, one of the solutions to the system of equations is (- 27, - 9).

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the unitary method,we can say that 150  liters of olive oil it will make.

What is unitary method?The unitary method is a technique in mathematics for solving a problem by finding the value of a single unit, I.e.,1,(by dividing) and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.A method of solving a problem that involves first determining the value of a single unit,And then multiplying that value to determine the required value.

According to the question,

40 pounds of olives to make 3 liters of olive oil.2000 pounds of olives will make 150  liters of olive oil.    3/40= 0.075 0.075 * 2000150

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, it is a good idea to write a statement that answers the question asked. Simply solving an inequality for "x" rarely answers the question (unless it is a question that asks for the value of "x"). It is often best to try to use the wording that the question uses.

It is also a good idea to say what your variable represents.

__

10.

The required relation is "cheaper than" so the "or equal to" case does not apply. The variable represents messages, so the solutions will be integers.

11.

"Becky can afford at most 8 fish."

The wording of the question in problem 10 is unconventional, but we have elected to use it anyway in the above answer. We could write "The unlimited plan is cheaper if Nadine sends and receives a total of more than 33 messages."
