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.

Determine the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of X-4y=8

Answers

Answer:

x- intercept = 8 , y- intercept = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercept, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

x - 4(0) = 8

x - 0 = x

x = 8 ← x- intercept

To find the y- intercept, let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

0 - 4y = 8

- 4y = 8 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

y = - 2 ← y- intercept

PLEASE HELP!! The figure below shows a line graph and two shaded triangles that are similar:

A line is shown on a coordinate grid. The x axis values are from negative 10 to positive 10 in increments of 2 for each grid line. The y axis values are from negative 5 to positive 5 in increments of 1 for each grid line. The line passes through the ordered pairs negative 6, negative 3, and 0, 0, and 6, 3. A shaded right triangle is formed so that its hypotenuse is from ordered pair 0, 0 labeled O to 4, 2 labeled A, one leg is from 0, 0 to 4,0, and the second leg is from 4,0 to 4, 2. Another shaded right triangle is formed with the hypotenuse is from 4, 2 to 6, 3 labeled B, one leg is from 4, 2 to 6, 2, and the second leg is from 6, 2 to 6, 3.

Which statement about the slope of the line is true?

It is fraction 1 over 2 throughout the line.
It is 2 throughout the line.
The slope from point O to point A is fraction 1 over 2 times the slope of the line from point A to point B.
The slope from point O to point A is 2 times the slope of the line from point A to point B.

Answers

The slope of the line of the graph is given by the ratio of the change in y-

coordinates to the change in the x-coordinates of the line.

The statement that is true about the slope of the line is; it is  [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] throughout

the line.

Reasons:

The given parameter are;

The ordered pair through which the line passes = (-6, -3), and (0, 0) and (6, 3)

Points on the hypotenuse of the shaded right triangle = O(0, 0), and A(4, 2)

Points on the leg of the right triangle = (0, 0) to (4, 0)

Points on the second leg of the right triangle = (4, 0) to (4, 2)

Second right triangle;

Points on the hypotenuse = A(4, 2) to B(6, 3)

One leg of the right triangle extends from (4, 2) to (6, 2)

Second leg extends from  (6, 2) to (6, 3)

[tex]Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

5. x=21.9 units

6. x=14 units

7. x=31.7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

5. Assuming that the line through the middle of the triangle in 5, we can split the 18 units side into 9 and 9. Using pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2+c^2), we can find that x is equal to [tex]\sqrt{81+400}[/tex] making x [tex]\sqrt{481}[/tex]. Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get x is about 21.9 units

6. By doing pyth. th. on one of the triangles, we get sqrt(361-289) which is sqrt(72), which is about 8.5 units. Subtracting 8.5*2 from 31, we get 14 for x

7. by doing pyth th on the smaller triangle, we get sqrt 228 and now we can do pyth th again with 28 (44-16) and sqrt228, which turns out to be sqrt (784+228) which is sqrt (1002), which when rounded the nearest tenth is 31.7

Good Luck!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5.

So 18 is cut in half and forms 2 simmetrical right-triangles, yes? Yes.

So, if 20 is one of the collared, 9 will be the other collared and x will be the hypotenusa right? right.

x² = 20² + 9²

x² = 400 + 81

x² = 481

x = [tex]\sqrt{481}[/tex]

x =~ 21.93

x = 21.9

6.

Here we can se a square and 2 simmetrical triangles and if the hypo of one of them is 19 the other will also be etc. So for the small triangles:

y² = 19² - 17²

y² = 361 - 289

y² = 72

y = [tex]\sqrt{72}[/tex]

y =~ 8.48

x = 31 - (2 * 8.48)

x = 31 - 16,96

x = ~14,04

x = 14.0

Justine runs 3 miles a day and Kate runs 6 miles a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of miles ran in a day

x(7) + (x+3)(7) = 63

14x + 21 = 63

14x = 42

x = 3
