A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.

Each small box can hold 30 books and each large box can hold 55 books. There were 2 more large boxes sent than small boxes, which altogether can hold 280 books. Determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent.

Response:

2 small boxes sent and 4 large boxes sent.

Step-by-step breakdown:

Let S represent the number of small boxes and L denote the large boxes

It’s stated that 2 more large boxes were sent compared to small boxes, hence

L = S + 2

Additionally, since each small box accommodates 30 books and each large box holds 55 books, combined they account for 280 books altogether.

30S + 55L = 280

Now, we can solve these equations concurrently

30S + 55(S + 2) = 280

85S + 110 = 280

85S = 280 - 110

85S = 170

S = 170/85

S = 2

Given L = S + 2

L = 2 + 2 = 4

The total number of small boxes sent is 2, and the large boxes sent are 4.

Response:

4 large boxes and 2 small boxes

Step-by-step breakdown:

4 X 55 = 220 books

2 X 30 = 60 books

Total =   280 books

Lila needs a custom frame for a painting that her friend made for her. I’ve Been Framed is offering 50 percent off plus an addit
Leona [12618]

Answer:

The Framers provides the more affordable price, being $1.35 less expensive.

Step-by-step explanation:

I've Been Framed:

50% of $115 amounts to $57.5.

10% of $57.5 equals $5.75.

Subtracting gives $57.5 - $5.75 = $51.75.

Total: $51.75

The Framers:

30% off $120 results in $36.

After discount, $120 - $36 equals $84.

40% off $84 is $33.6.

Subtracting gives $84 - $33.6 = $50.4.

Price difference: $1.35

An upscale resort has built its circular swimming pool around a central area that contains a restaurant. The central area is a r
zzz [12365]

The triangle is positioned within the circle, with its vertices lying on the circle's edge - since the center of the circle is located on the hypotenuse, that hypotenuse serves as the diameter (D) of the circle.

:

D = 120 feet

:

Calculating the circumference of the circle gives: 22/7 * 120 = 377.14 feet.

The perimeter of the triangle is calculated as 120 + 60 + 103.92 = 283.92

:

********************************************************

1) The combined distance around both circle and triangle totals 661.06 feet.

********************************************************

:

**************************************************************

2) The vertices for the triangle's central area must touch the circular pool - to find the center of the pool, draw perpendicular bisectors from two of the triangle's sides; where they meet is the center.

The distance from the center to any vertex of the triangular area represents the radius of the


circular pool.

**************************************************************

:

*****************************************************************

3) The intersection of the triangle's angle bisectors indicates the center of the shark tank.

*****************************************************************

:

***********************************************************

4) The pool's volume is calculated as ((π * 60^2) - area of triangle) * 4 =

(11314.285) - (1/2 * 103.92 * 60) * 4 = 32786.74 cubic feet.

***********************************************************

:

*****************************************

5) 8196.685 * x < 30000

x < 3.66 feet

The average depth needs to be below 3.66 feet

A 2-column table with 10 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 4, negative 3, negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1,
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer-  A,D,E

Step-by-step explanation:

A table featuring two columns with 5 rows. The first column, labeled x, contains the values: -2, 0, 2, 4. The second column, labeled y, includes the values: 6, 3.5, 1, -1.5.

Which equations correspond to the data shown in the table? Select all that apply.

y – 6 = -5/4(x + 2)

y – 2 = -5/4(x - 1)

y + 2 = -5/4(x - 6)

y – 1 = -5/4(x - 2)

y – 3.5 = -1.25x

This is just rewording the question
